6 River Systems co-founder and co-CEO Jerome Dubois has been named a Pro to Know by Supply and Demand Chain Executive, the executive’s user manual for successful supply and demand chain transformation. The Pros to Know Awards recognize supply chain executives, and manufacturing and non-manufacturing enterprises, that are leading initiatives to help prepare their companies’ supply chains for the significant challenges of today’s business climate.
Supply and Demand Chain Executive named Dubois a “Provider Pro To Know.” Dubois has spent his entire career in the supply chain industry and earned his MBA in Supply Chain Management and Finance from the D’Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University. Before launching 6 River Systems, Dubois directed global sales at Kiva Systems, which was acquired by Amazon Robotics in 2012. He has a wealth of knowledge about supply chain solutions and warehouse automation, which he uses to help his clients succeed.
