About Daniel Spatz

Aligning people to deliver results. that\'s what I do best. Building up people and their capability are my most rewarding and enduring legacies. A strategist with business acumen gained through roles in demand, supply and planning roles, I am motivated when leading and coaching to drive clarity, collaboration and community.A global career anchored in Russia and the United States has sharpened my ability to creatively turn tension from interpersonal, cross-functional and multi-cultural diversity into competitive advantage.My entrepreneurial drive to marry generative social objectives with sustainable economic solutions delivered two business enterprises in Tennessee and Arkansas, both centered on health, nutrition and agriculture.In Tennessee, Dan and his wife Nadia operate a culinary herb farm supplying Walmart, McCartney Produce, Sysco, Performance Food Group and other wholesale customers with fresh, cleaned and packed culinary herbs.In Arkansas, Dan is transitioning his family’s farm from “conventional” row crops to locally marketed specialty crops while more generally helping transform agriculture toward sustainable farming practices and more balanced economic benefits through the supply chain.Focus areas: Sales and Operations Planning, S & OP / Integrated Business Planning, IBP / Demand Planning Consultant / Supply Planning Consultant / Business Excellence Consultant / Agribusiness / Grant Writing
