Session Overview
What does it actually take to lead a large-scale, end-to-end supply chain transformation while keeping the business running? Four leaders driving change in very different contexts (a global multi-brand drinks business, a PE-backed healthcare and hygiene company, a regulated pharma distributor spanning 130+ countries, and a global food and beverage company) share how they sequence change, win cross-functional and board-level buy-in, balance cost against resilience and service, and make transformation stick culturally, not just on the org chart.
