Anthony Dodd (SKEMA 2007), Ambassador of the Supply Chain Business Club

Could you briefly tell us about your career since graduating from SKEMA and what motivated you to become an ambassador for the Supply Chain Business Club?

I've always been passionate about sport, so I wanted to join a sports company, Decathlon.
I graduated with a Master's degree in Marketing and Project Management in 2007, and joined the Nice store as a department manager as soon as I finished my studies...

After 11 years in the south, from RR to store manager in Carcassonne, I moved up north in 2018 to become a management controller in the group's supply chain teams.
3 years later, my desire to return to an operational, business-oriented role in my passion sport led me to join Kipsta as Retail Supplier Europe.

I wanted to become an ambassador for the supply chain club, because the subject matter is fascinating and connecting with other players is a real opportunity to share views on the various issues.

How do you see your role as ambassador for the Supply Chain Business Club? Could you share a few ideas for events or initiatives you'd like to set up?

I plan to energize the club by promoting exchanges and sharing around this theme.
Ideas for events :
Visit a company with a presentation of the supply chain. Topics : AI in the supply chain. How to build a more virtuous supply? Supply priorities in relation to future business? How does supply support transformation strategies around new business models?

What message would you like to pass on to our alumni to encourage them to join and become actively involved in the Supply Chain Business Club?

We look forward to meeting you at one of our events or during discussions about the Supply Chain Purchasing Club. Join us to help the club live and grow, and prepare for the future of supply chain!
