As supply chains increasingly form the backbone of global business operations, few leaders exemplify the strategic transformation of the discipline quite like Mourad Tamoud.
As Chief Supply Chain Officer at Schneider Electric, Mourad oversees a vast network spanning 160 factories, 75 distribution centres and 80,000 employees worldwide.
His journey from accidental supply chain professional to C-suite executive reflects the broader evolution of an industry that has moved from operational necessity to strategic differentiator.
From problem-solver to supply chain visionary Mourad’ s path into supply chain management wasn’ t predetermined, but rather discovered through a natural affinity for complexity and efficiency.
“ My journey into the supply chain field wasn’ t something I planned from the start, but I quickly discovered a passion for it early in my career,” he explains.
“ I’ ve always been drawn to problem-solving and driving efficiency, and the supply chain presented this incredible opportunity to directly impact not only operational performance but also broader business outcomes.”
This approach has shaped Mourad’ s career and led to his current role at Schneider Electric where he heads up procurement, logistics and planning, as well as strategy and performance functions.
