Mark Holmes , Senior Advisor for Global Supply Chain , InterSystems , shares strategies to drive organizational efficiencies

1 . Could you tell me about your career history , and how you came to be at InterSystems ?

I have a unique 25-year career history in supply chain and logistics , working with or within FMCG and manufacturing companies and in supply chain consultancy . My experience also encompasses 3PL and 4PL logistics where I led integrated business units focused on distribution , transportation , and freight forwarding .

It was from there that I migrated into software - developing solutions for the supply chain industry and running a supply chain practice for a global systems integrator . The diversity in my experience in these sectors led me to InterSystems , where my role has been to influence product development and grow and strengthen the supply chain footprint globally – which is where food and beverage comes into play .
