The role of the supply chain and the supply chain professional is changing . As the global business landscape evolves in response to megatrends like increased customer centricity , closer buyer-supplier relationships and the staggering technological advancements of the fourth Industrial Revolution , an ever expanding number of the old silos and attitudes have come crashing down . Founded in 2013 , procurement and logistics platform company SourceDay entered the space at exactly the right time . “ It ’ s down to luck , hard work and timing . I think you can make your own luck to an extent , but the fortuitous timing of when we came to market has contributed significantly to our success ,” says Tom Kieley , Co-Founder and CEO of SourceDay . “ The digital transformation of the supply chain is real , and it ’ s creating roles that never existed before : the Digital Transformation Officer , the Chief Supply Chain Officer and the Chief Procurement Officer , that are specific to the discipline .”
