Palo Alto, Calif. - September 10, 2008 - Blue Vector Systems today announced that Romen Kuloor, Blue Vector’s vice president of business development, has been invited to participate in a panel session at LogiPharma 2008, a gathering of pharmaceutical and biotech industry leaders focused on innovative and practical supply chain management practices to achieve global visibility, integration and cost efficiency.
Entitled “Creating The Most Efficient Supply Chain Possible,” the panel session will be held on Tuesday, September 16, from 11:10-11:50 a.m. Kuloor will join top industry executives to discuss topics ranging from evaluating key supply chain improvement opportunities to understanding cost drivers to implementing and communicating change across the enterprise. Other panel attendees will include Jim Cafone (Vice President, Global Logistics, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals), William McLaury (Executive Director, US Supply Chain Management, Novartis Pharmaceuticals), and Kenneth Thomas (Former Head of Manufacturing and Supply Chain Capabilities, Eli Lilly & Company).
“The pharmaceutical industry is facing significant pressures and will continue to undergo considerable changes in terms of adopting new manufacturing and supply chain processes and technologies,” commented Kuloor. “While there are many forces driving the change-from global regulatory pressures to counterfeit and diversion issues compromising a safe and secure supply chain-the central question on the minds of many pharma executives is: How can we transform this challenge into an opportunity to enhance our core manufacturing and distribution processes while establishing a source of sustained competitive advantage? Clearly this is a complex, multi-faceted question and I look forward to the opportunity to engage in a lively discussion with some of the industry’s top executives and thought leaders at LogiPharma 2008.”
Kuloor is responsible for developing partner ecosystems to drive Blue Vector’s solutions and emerging market opportunities. With previous experience ranging from manufacturing automation and supply chain with Johnson & Johnson to wireless technology in both large and start-up companies, he has successfully built key Blue Vector partnerships with leading companies including Accenture, SAP and Axway, in addition to securing early customers.
Blue Vector will be exhibiting in booth# 1 at the 7th Annual LogiPharma 2008, which will be held from September 15-18, 2008 in Philadelphia, PA. For more information on the event, please visit: http://www.wbresearch.co.uk/logipharmausa/index.asp.
