Advisory board

ClearOps is fortunate to have such knowledgeable and experienced members on our advisory board. Together, Karim, Mike, and Dr. Baader have probably worked with at least half of the fortune 500 businesses in the areas of supply chain and aftermarket operations. They collectively have a century of experience in these areas and know the industry really well. In fact, they were part of the genesis to get to where we are today – treating the supply chain like an ecosystem where integration and collaboration are key, and leveraging IoT data, AI, and machine learning are now the norm.
