Ep 29 – The Shift-Left in Supply Chain with Richard Barnett – Part 1
Welcome to the Industry Forward Podcast with Dale Tutt, the show where we examine industry and technology trends with the help of various experts from around Siemens and beyond!
Today, we have the first of a three part series with Richard Barnett, Chief Marketing Officer and SaaS Sales Leader at Supplyframe! Richard brings over 30 years of experience driving growth across enterprise SaaS, supply chain software, and digital platforms. He has led marketing strategy and execution, positioning brands, creating demand engines, and accelerating global expansion.
At Supplyframe, Richard led the transformation in brand and go-to-market strategy after its acquisition by Siemens. Before joining Supplyframe, Richard’s background includes marketing leadership roles at LevaData, GT Nexus, E2open, and i2 Technologies, with a track record of translating vision into measurable outcomes.
Richard, Dale, and I jump into the discussion by getting in to the head of a supply chain manager navigating the disruptions of the last five years. Then, we talk about how supply strategies are shifting and how companies are approaching the “shift-left” of supply chain decisions.
Listen to the podcast to hear about:
- The effects of volatility on complex supply chains
- Why resiliency and transparency will be critical in the future
- Benefits and challenges posed by shift-left methodologies
- And more!
