Supply chain performance can determine if businesses succeed or fail. One of the many factors that dictate these levels of success: effective supplier sourcing. If a supply chain management team has a project or an initiative that they want to undertake to improve their operation or enterprise, it can be hard to find the right partners and providers to go to for support.Dillon Atchley is the CEO of Aureate Technologies. He has benefitted from experiencing global supply chain from a variety of angles, starting with a position unloading trucks at 3 o’clock in the morning. He has had multiple entrepreneurial experiences and each one has taught him something different about things such as: hard work, data analytics, innovation and connecting with people.
