About Brad Norris
I specialize in demand planning and supply chain optimization, with a track record of aligning global operations to business targets through data-driven decision making. My experience spans tech and consumer sectors, and I thrive in environments where agility, precision and strategic insight drive impact.I’m passionate about integrating predictive analytics, machine learning and real-time market signals into planning workflows. I’ve led initiatives to improve forecast accuracy and optimize fulfillment operations while minimizing excess and obsolescence through cross-functional collaboration with product, procurement and finance teams. I’m fluent in tools like Python, SQL and Power BI, and I’m always exploring new ways to elevate planning through data science and engineering. Whether it’s designing and deploying internal systems, demand modeling, or inventory optimization, I bring an Agile mindset to every opportunity. Let’s connect if you’re driving digital transformation in supply chain, establishing OKRs/KPIs for demand planning or leveraging AI/ML in data science projects.
