Los Angeles, March 5th, 2012 – RONAStar welcomes the addition of Phil Abraham, top Virtual Supply Chain strategist and pioneer in the industry, as it’s Chief Strategy Officer. Mr. Abraham is best known as the creator of Manugistics and Covisint.
Mr. Abraham has been a leader in the logistics industry for over 30 years creating the supply chains for KMart, Wallmart, Dominos Pizza, and GM. In 1999, Mr. Abraham was brought on board at General Motors and managed Project Vector, a fourth-party logistics company jointly owned by GM and CNF Ventures that manages more then $3.5 billion in GM’s global logistics spending: Project Covisint, a virtual exchange created and jointly, owned by GM, Ford and DaimlerChrysler to manage the purchasing and logistics functions of those companies and their extended supply chains, and Project Sydney, which created multiple new processes that are leading the charge in next generation technologies.
Previously, Mr. Abraham held the title of National Director of Global Logistics for Dominos,and also spent 16 years in K-Mart’s corporate logistics and distribution division, where he developed a high-level logistics-modeling tool,later renamed Manugistics, that was rolled out nationwide to all of Kmart’s distribution centers. Not to be outdone, Wal-Mart also sought out Abraham to bring in the same supply chain strategy, and duplicated much of his work at Kmart with similar success.
“We are ecstatic to have Phil Abraham as our CSO. A man of his expertise is an enormous asset to any company” says RONAStar’s Stephen Meade. “We are extremely fortunate that he is on board with us, and plan to forge ahead brilliantly with his leadership”
