Spinnaker’s 2018 Pros to Know Honorees
Nick Hamm, Vice President of Spinnaker’s Supply Chain Design practice, is a globally recognized expert in supply chain modeling, network optimization, and applied data transformation. Prior to joining Spinnaker, Nick was the first employee at LLamasoft, where he spent eight years in consulting and product leadership roles, including serving as the inaugural product manager for Supply Chain Guru. He later led Pareto Consulting, a boutique firm specializing in supply chain design. With nearly 15 years of experience, Nick has helped companies across industries transform their networks and unlock significant operational value through advanced design practices.
Brad Murach, Director and leader of Spinnaker’s JDA Functional Consulting team within the Planning Systems practice, brings over a decade of experience delivering business transformation through planning technology. Brad excels at helping organizations implement sustainable, best-practice-based planning systems that fit their unique operational environments. His expertise includes demand planning, system optimization, change management, and team training, with a special focus on increasing adoption and maximizing the ROI of existing JDA (now Blue Yonder) investments.
“We hired Nick to lead our Supply Chain Design practice because of his proven track record and deep expertise in helping clients succeed in their supply chain design initiatives,” said John Sharkey, SVP of Consulting at Spinnaker. “Brad has played a key leadership role in our JDA practice for years, and his promotion to Director is a testament to the results he consistently delivers.
