Spinnaker Leaders and Team Members Honored with 2019 Supply Chain Pros to Know Awards

HOUSTON, Feb. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Spinnaker, the global provider of supply chain consulting services, announced today that Joe Sacchetti, Rob Jensen, and Thomas Howard and team have all been recognized by Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine as 2019 Pros to Know. The Pros to Know Awards, which had over 500 submissions, recognize supply chain executives, and manufacturing and non-manufacturing enterprises, that are leading initiatives to help prepare their companies' supply chains for the significant challenges of today's business climate. This year's list includes more than 200 individuals from software firms and service providers, consultancies or academia, who helped their supply chain clients, or the supply chain community at large prepare to meet these challenges—and more than 40 Practitioner Pros, who do the same within their own companies.

Joe Sacchetti leads Spinnaker's Planning Systems Managed Services Support Team and has over 20 years of supply chain design, development, implementation, and support experience.  Joe is known for delivering robust supply chain solutions, deep technical expertise, and a customer-oriented approach to service delivery.

Robert Jensen leads Spinnaker's Supply Chain Data Governance service offering and has a proven record helping companies implement strong supply chain planning data governance and management processes to improve the quality and reliability of their supply chain systems. With over 30 years' experience, he is an authority in this field and beyond his work with Spinnaker customers, Jensen works with leading software partners to improve their capabilities and participates and speaks at related industry forums.

Thomas Howard, Senior Operations Manager at Spinnaker's Memphis Reverse Logistics Operation, leads a team that recently achieved 17% volume YoY growth while maintaining prior year operating expenses and exceptional site safety performance. He and the Memphis team created an employee performance incentive program to further align employee behaviors and performances with site objectives and client initiatives. Thomas's team was able to reduce employee churn by over 30% in key process areas leading to overall enhanced employee engagement, higher inventory accuracy for over 90M in assets, and more enhanced training effectiveness.

"Having several Spinnaker consultants and Thomas's Reverse Logistics team in Memphis receive the Pros to Know awards this year really speaks to the customer service delivered and the caliber of experience and leadership skills that our Spinnaker team possess. Being named a Pro-to-Know recognizes the expertise they have developed and the value they help bring to our clients. We're proud to have them all on our team," said John Sharkey, Spinnaker's SVP of Consulting.

"Every year we receive more submissions from outstanding supply chain leaders. It's evidence of the growth in the supply chain profession as well as the importance of the profession within companies. Supply & Demand Chain Executive congratulates the 2019 Supply & Demand Chain Executive Pros to Know recipients.
