What Clients Say


As the Vice President of Supply Chain at Bioventus, a $600 million surgical solutions company, I had the opportunity to engage Shardul Shah, founder of International Reach, to lead a critical project focused on transforming our indirect procurement function—with a clear mandate to deliver both savings and cash flow improvements.

Shardul brought more than just strategic insight—he brought structure, analytics, and hands-on leadership that elevated our internal capabilities and helped reposition procurement as a value-generating function across the company. His impact was immediate and deeply felt in several areas:

  • Spend Analytics & Data-Driven Insights: Led the development of a comprehensive spend cube, creating alignment across finance, operations, and procurement.

  • Workstream Management: Structured the effort into distinct and manageable workstreams with measurable KPIs.

  • Capability Building: Provided hands-on coaching and frameworks to support and strengthen the leadership of our new Director of Procurement.

  • Cash Flow & Cost Impact: Successfully unlocked cost savings and immediate improvements in cash flow.

  • Organizational Credibility: Elevated the procurement function from transactional to strategic, with recognition during our all-employee town hall.

Shardul is a rare blend of strategist, operator, and coach. I would absolutely work with him again and strongly recommend him to any company looking to accelerate procurement performance and organizational credibility.”
