Exostar VP Peter Scott Wins Supply Chain “Pros to Know” Award
HERNDON, VA, March 2, 2010 ─ Exostar, the leading provider of secure, on-demand, multi-enterprise collaboration solutions to the aerospace and defense (A&D) industry, today announced that Peter Scott, the company’s Vice President of Supply Chain Solutions, has been named one of Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine’s “2010 Pros to Know.” Supply & Demand Chain Executive is the executive’s user manual for successful supply and demand chain transformation, steering executives and supply management professionals through the complicated, yet critical, world of supply and demand chain enablement to gain competitive advantage.
The publication annually identifies the individuals and team members who have distinguished themselves as the leaders and visionaries of the supply chain community and recognizes them as Pros to Know. For 2010, Pros to Know are divided into three categories: individual practitioner, team practitioner, and provider. Exostar’s Scott is included in the provider category, which is comprised of individuals or groups from a software firm or service provider, consultancy, analyst or research firm, or academia.
“The executives we’ve selected as Pros to Know have shown themselves to be thought leaders in the supply chain industry and serve as invaluable resources for supply chain practitioners looking to bring their organizations through these turbulent times,” said Andrew K. Reese, Editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “Highlighting the insights that provider Pros to Know like Peter Scott have taken out of the global recession empowers our readers with best practices they can apply to their own supply chains to position themselves to capitalize on the economic recovery.”
Nominees in the provider Pros to Know category were evaluated on their overall credentials and relevant experience, the initiatives they executed to help their customers address and overcome the challenges of the recession, and their vision for the future and how they intend to implement that vision for the benefit of their customers. The panel of judges pointed to Peter Scott’s strong qualifications, including his supply chain collaboration expertise in A&D, his leadership in the development of Exostar’s award-winning Supply Chain Platform that delivers supply chain process management via a Software-as-a-Service architecture, and his strategic relationships with global customers including Raytheon and BAE Systems.
“Being named one of Supply & Demand Chain Executive’s Pros to Know is a wonderful accolade,” Scott said. “This honor reflects close collaboration with great customers and an outstanding team at Exostar. We’re challenged on a daily basis by an industry that’s in the midst of exciting changes in adopting advanced supply chain processes and technology, yet ultimately requires cost-effective solutions that mitigate risk and adhere to the strictest security and compliance standards.”
