aim10x Executive Council adds a leader with vast experience in full stack business services and digital transformations

DALLAS, TX – June 20, 2022 – o9 Solutions, the leading AI-powered integrated business planning platform, welcomes a leader with a proven track record of digital transformations in the life sciences industry.

Robert Weltevreden is a former member of the Novartis executive committee and Head of Customer & Technology Solutions. Robert has more than 30 years of experience in leadership positions at multinational organizations and a proven track record of driving successful business transformations in the life sciences industry. 

At Novartis and Syngenta, Robert led global full stack business services and digital transformation teams with a significant impact on business results through operational excellence, disruptive digital transformation, and a strong talent pipeline. Part of his recipe for success was the belief in the value of Integrated Business Services, where the respective functional domains work together in the service of customer success.

"The life sciences industry has made breakthroughs beyond comprehension over the last few years and decades. So much of this work is down to the leadership backing change, technology, and data. I am always so happy when the aim10x Executive Council adds more thought leaders and decision makers to its roster. And we’re so fortunate as Robert’s expertise and experience in life sciences are second-to-none."

"I am inspired by the opportunity to support an organization which truly understands the interplay between data, technology, process, and organization, to provide leading edge solutions in the areas of revenue management, supply chain, and IBP."
