Eric Ingebretsen to join Global ITAD Alliance (GIA) panel on managing risk and value at global scale.
March 23, 2026 – Singapore – SK Tes, a global leader in IT asset disposition (ITAD) and technology lifecycle services, today announced that Eric Ingebretsen, Chief Commercial Officer at SK Tes, will participate in a panel discussion at the first ITAD Europe conference, taking place in Nice, France, on Wednesday 15 April 2026.
Eric will join industry peers from ERI and Kuusakoski, all members of the Global ITAD Alliance (GIA), for a panel entitled “Enterprise ITAD at Global Scale: Risk and Revenue Considerations that Lead to Success.” The session will explore how large organizations and data center operators can reduce risk, maximize value recovery, and execute complex asset retirement programs consistently across regions and asset types.
As organizations accelerate technology refresh, consolidation, and infrastructure retirement programs, managing redundant equipment has become increasingly complex. Successful programs require robust planning, standardized execution and reporting, and effective global governance. The panel will examine the operational, security, and commercial considerations that separate well-managed global programs from fragmented, high-risk approaches.
“Enterprise ITAD at scale is no longer just about equipment processing. It's about risk management, value optimization, and operational discipline across the entire project lifecycle,” said Eric Ingebretsen. “From early-stage planning through execution and reporting, organizations need repeatable, global processes and expert program management to manage complexity and protect both data and brand.”
The panel discussion will address the practical challenges organizations face when managing complex, multi-site technology retirement programs, where early planning, risk management, and operational readiness can significantly affect project outcomes.
Drawing on our experience with complex data center decommissioning projects, SK Tes has developed a Data Center ITAD Project Planning Checklist and Readiness Workbook to help organizations assess scope, governance, risk, and execution readiness before undertaking complex projects.
These practical resources are designed for enterprise IT, data center, procurement, and sustainability teams planning complex infrastructure retirement projects, and reflect challenges encountered by Global ITAD Alliance members operating at global scale.
The ITAD Europe conference brings together ITAD providers, enterprise clients, and industry stakeholders to share best practices and insights on the evolving role of IT asset disposition in security, sustainability, and value recovery.
