Meet the Speakers at Process Mining Camp 2023

Process Mining Camp 2023

The heart and soul of every Process Mining Camp are our practice talks. You will hear from other process miners like yourself, who share what they have been doing. Hear their stories, pick up some of their tricks, and avoid their mistakes in your own process mining projects.

At this year’s camp, on 21 June, you will hear inspiring practice talks from professionals who apply process mining for use cases from process improvement, over auditing, to customer journey analysis.

Get to know the speakers of Process Mining Camp 2023!

Eric N. Kildea, Radwell International (USA)

The processes at Radwell are not purely pieces of information. Instead, physical machines and spare parts are being sent from one place to another as Radwell stocks, sells, and repairs industrial automation, electronic, and electrical control equipment for plant floor and facility maintenance machinery. Eric analyzes these processes to help managers put data to their intuition for making the right decisions.

Eric Kildea is an International Project Manager at Radwell International. He is well-versed in Agile strategies and has successfully managed projects ranging from office relocations, corporate policy development, company rebranding, data mining, process optimization, mergers, and acquisitions to ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) changeovers. Each project is unique and can be organized using the proper project management techniques.

Stefan Wick has been a process manager at USZ for over 14 years. After his Master’s degree in Pharmacy almost 30 years ago, he worked at USZ in various areas, from the laboratory to the IT department and quality management.
