“The one task from my CEO when I started this role was to elevate the legal function as a better partner to the business.” What started as a challenge from the top at Heineken later turned into a post-COVID mandate to make “one bold move” to control costs. Ernst van de Weert's was to bring on board a new strategic legal operations leader, who in-turn, turned to PERSUIT to take their strategic vision to the next level.
By design, PERSUIT helped the Heineken legal team demonstrate the value of their investment in new technology. By bringing new transparency to their outside counsel selection and management, they are surfacing new firms who can do better work for a lower price. “Companies are looking for you to keep the budget stable. Other than FTE, this is the other key leverage to make sure you get the best value for money.”
