  • Organize events and conferences to connect thought leaders, industry experts, and students around emerging trends in supply chain analytics.
  • Ensure the fiscal and operational soundness of the center, managing all aspects of the operations, including planning, budgeting, and staff oversight.
  • Engage the school’s faculty, students and other stakeholders in the activities of the center.
