Three decades in supply chain transformation across consulting, enterprise software, and operating roles, building VYAN because the planning paradigm I helped scale at PwC, IBM, and SAP is no longer the right one.
Most enterprise plans break the moment reality shows up. A demand spike, a supplier delay, a tariff shock, and a single best-guess plan that took weeks to build collapses into a war room.
I started VYAN to fix that.
VYAN is an enterprise decision intelligence platform built for supply chains operating under uncertainty. Instead of optimizing for one future, planners evaluate decision policies: deliberate postures toward demand variability, supplier risk, and discrete shocks, and stress-test them across thousands of futures before commit. Service, margin, cash, and ROIC trade-offs become quantified choices, defensible to the CFO and livable for the planner.
Built on deep-learning demand forecasting, stochastic optimization, granular cost-to-serve, and agentic AI augmentation, in one cloud-native platform.
Today I also lead an enterprise transformation practice that works alongside global manufacturers, technology firms, and industrial leaders on supply chain modernization programs, the work that taught me, deal by deal, why the planning category needed VYAN.
Twenty-eight-plus years in supply chain transformation across consulting, enterprise software, and operating roles. Previously Supply Chain Practice Leader at PwC and IBM, and High-Tech Industry Leader at SAP. Led programs at Nvidia, Tesla Motors, Vedanta Group, MKS Instruments, Anritsu, AMD, Unilever, TE Connectivity, Dolby Labs, Epiq and Siemens, alongside Nike, Intel and Chevron, bridging strategy, systems, and scalable change.
I write at vyan.ai/blog , working notes on decision intelligence, resilient planning, and the practical realities of transformation programs in flight.
If you're wrestling with planning under uncertainty, or making a digital transformation actually land, I'd love to compare notes.
