About

Hi, I’m Bob Ferrari, the Managing Director of The Ferrari Research and Consulting Group LLC and Executive Editor for the Supply Chain Matters blog.
My background relates to the practice of supply and value chain management and includes multiple years of practical experience in all aspects of supply chain business processes and supporting information technology. I’m a former supply chain industry analyst at top-tier industry analyst firms AMR Research and IDC, and I’ve held multiple planning, operations, management consulting and program implementation roles within the high tech industry, and with enterprise software integrators. My background also includes global product marketing leadership roles at two technology companies, including SAP AG. I hold certifications in supply chain (CSCP), inventory management (CPIM), and inbound product marketing (HubSpot).
In this blog, I will provide unbiased views, insights, and education into today’s burning topics surrounding the managing and deployment of global supply chains. Having viewed this area from many spectrums and constituencies, my goal is to present a balanced and insightful view of key strategic topics.
The goal here is to advance our collective learning, and I welcome your comments and feedback.
We also provide supply chain related business process, management consulting, and social media based product marketing services for both manufacturers, service companies and technology vendors.
