o9 Solutions, the leading AI-powered Integrated Business Planning platform, today announced its partnership with former P&G, Starbucks, and The Nature’s Bounty Co executives as part of its AIM10x Executive Network to define the future of digital transformation in operations and planning.
Business models and customer demands are changing rapidly. As such, CXOs and supply chain executives need flexibility and visibility of their end-to-end supply chain. This is being enabled by the digital transformation of planning and decision-making capabilities, but the journey can be long and painful. Therefore, the AIM10x Executive Network is sharing valuable learnings about leadership, strategy, change management, and Digital Transformation journeys through the AIM10x Webinars to help executives navigate and accelerate their own digital business transformations.
"I am very pleased that Filippo Passerini, Ana Badell, and Bob Masching joined the AIM10x Executive Network. Each of them brings extensive industry knowledge and unique perspectives to the network in the CPG, retail, and food & beverage spaces,” said Chakri Gottemukkala, CEO at o9 Solutions and active member of the AIM10x Executive Network. “With their combined experience and network, they will provide valuable insights and learnings to the global operations and planning community."
