Supply Chain Consultant Invests in New Zealand with Local Industry Heavyweights

Former Warehouse Group Multichannel CEO Andrew Buxton (L) and logistics and supply chain expert Roberto Brady (R) join the TMX New Zealand team.

Global supply chain consultant TMX Transform has appointed two industry heavyweights as strategic advisors to its team in New Zealand. Former CEO of Multichannel at The Warehouse Group (one of New Zealand’s biggest retailers) and former CEO of eStarOnline Andrew Buxton joins as a Strategic Advisor based in Auckland.

Andrew has also held leadership roles at Miss Amara, Infolog New Zealand, Thomsons ITM, and others in Europe, Asia, and New Zealand. 

“Andrew’s expertise in supply chain end-to-end leadership, network strategy, international sourcing, digital fulfilment, and customer service means he is an experienced problem-solver and market leader,” Adam McDonald, Australia New Zealand Managing Director of TMX, said. 

“Clients will benefit from his significant experience and advisory, particularly in retail.”  Andrew said TMX’s distinct value proposition drew him to the role.

“TMX has a fantastic team with a diverse and wide-ranging field of expertise, plus an innovative operating model that pairs supply chain, industrial real estate, and project management all into one offering,” Andrew said.

“I’m excited to support and grow TMX in the New Zealand market through delivering great work for our clients.” 

Roberto Brady, an experienced supply chain and logistics leader across Australia and New Zealand, joins Andrew. Roberto has worked in a variety of roles with Toll, IBM, StraitNZ, and Platform8, including more than ten years with Toll. 

“Rob is a key addition to TMX,” Marcus Carmont, Chief Customer Officer at TMX, said.  “He is a critical cog in our customer-led strategy and brings a wealth of multi-dimensional industry knowledge that has been tested against some of the most complex supply chains, across a range of sectors, in TMX’s core and emerging markets.”

“Our customers will benefit from his domain experience, as we emerge from the post-COVID period against the backdrop of a dynamic trading environment.”

Roberto said he is looking forward to solving business challenges for clients in New Zealand, particularly as supply chains increase in complexity.

“I’ve always liked and respected TMX’s unique offering,” Roberto said. “Supply chain is critical infrastructure, which is why I enjoy working within this space.

Businesses must be able to continue running when internal or external events disrupt their operations.”

“TMX sits at the juncture of supply chain and this infrastructure, with end-to-end expertise in industrial real estate and construction project management, and I’m excited by the opportunity to drive meaningful impact across the New Zealand supply chain.”

Both roles are based in Auckland.
