Background

About Stefan de Kok

On a mission to utterly disrupt the Supply Chain domain. To make it better: more profitable, sustainable, equitable, efficient, stable, resilient, manageable, and pleasurable to work in for everyone. I am passionate about math and how to fix the math we have been applying inappropriately in supply chains. I love to debate and reflect on all opinions about a topic. I believe LinkedIn to be a professional forum, but that does not mean it needs to be formal and business only. I communicate on a first-name basis and am not shy to infuse humor even on serious topics. I may bring up topics like civil liberties, DEI, racism, climate change, and politics that are all more important than business-as-usual. Feel free to engage me on any of these topics, or to unfollow/block me if you don't like it. Specialties: Supply Chain Management, product management, supply chain strategy, supply chain optimization, supply chain analytics.
