About Marc Kennedy

I lead business development and key accounts in the lovely chaos where logistics, manufacturing, and operations collide. Over nearly 30 years in sales, logistics, and operations, I’ve managed complex programs for large manufacturers, built 3PL and VMI solutions that actually work in the real world, and helped customers untangle problems involving tariffs, timelines, inventory, and far too many acronyms. I’m at my best running high-stakes accounts, aligning commercial deals with operational reality, and keeping cross-functional teams focused on execution instead of drama. Colleagues come to me when something critical is stuck, a customer needs straight talk, or a plan has to move from slideware to shipped product. I believe in long-term partnerships, clear communication, responsible growth, and keeping a sense of humor when the spreadsheet says one thing and the supply chain does another.Contact me at: M••••••••@gmail.com
