James Butera is Vice President, Customer Growth for TransVoyant. He leads a team responsible for partnering with customers to drive meaningful outcomes using TransVoyant’s live, transparent, and predictive global supply chain situational awareness – enabling customer service improvements through early intervention, cost avoidance through fewer product discards, and increase operational efficiency through cross-functional and trading partner integration & collaboration. James started his career in supply chain operations with Unilever and was one of the earliest users of BlueYonder (fmr STSC/Manugistics). This experience sparked a passion to work for early-stage high-growth software companies. He has been a serial builder of software start-ups ever since. James earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Quantitative Business Analysis from Penn State Smeal College of Business.
While Covid-19 has exposed the cracks in global businesses, supply chain leaders now have a seat at the table to build a future-ready enterprise. Disconnected data, the crucial need for real-time visibility, and the lack of predictive analytics stand in the way of accelerating innovation, staying competitive in the market and restructuring global supply chains to be more agile.
In 2019, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world partnered with TransVoyant starting their journey to develop a patient-centered Digital Logistics Program. They focused from the plant to the patient reimagining their ways of working, building digital capabilities with well-developed use cases and delivering value as quickly as possible.
