The Supply & Demand Chain Executive “Provider Pros to Know” is an annual listing of individuals from a software firm or service provider, consultancy, or analyst or research firm who exhibit deep domain knowledge and innovative thinking within the industry. Through a dedication to continued improvement in supply and demand chain technology, these individuals have worked to help supply and demand chain management professionals by equipping them with the proper tools.

“This year’s Provider Pros to Know have shown themselves to be thought-leaders in their respective supply chain segments,” said Andrew K. Reese, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine. “Their efforts in developing the tools and processes necessary for supply chain transformation, and in promoting new approaches to supply chain enablement, have earned them a place on this year’s Provider Pros listing.”
