Global supply chain consultancy, TMX Transform, has appointed Tristan Butt as Chief Operating Officer to oversee its Asia-Pacific business operations and help clients solve their most pressing supply chain challenges across the region.

Tristan brings with him over two decades of industry experience across Australia, the United Kingdom, and Europe, most recently with KPMG, where he was Partner in the firm’s Customer and Operations Advisory and led the Retail sector for the ANZ Consulting Division.

He combines strategy with a deep understanding of the end-to-end value chain, having worked with iconic FMCG and retail brands including Woolworths, Amazon, Mars, Unilever and L’Oreal.

“TMX is committed to ensuring their clients succeed in making their supply chains a point of difference. Their end-to-end offering is unrivalled, and the people are the best in the business at what they do, which is what attracted me to TMX,” Tristan said.

“I’m looking forward to working alongside our industry talent to deliver best-in-class supply chain solutions for our clients, as well as supporting TMX’s growth, particularly when it comes to collaborating across international markets.”

Supply chains now demand immediate attention and are the focus in boardrooms worldwide.

Companies must integrate supply chain digitization, visibility, sustainability, and resilience, ensuring it underpins their business operations and enables growth.

“Our clients are facing tough economic conditions, increased cost of capital, labour shortages, too much inventory and end-to-end visibility challenges, which has fuelled the expansion of our business worldwide,” TMX Transform CEO, Travis Erridge, said.

“This global expansion meant we needed a COO who could execute at the highest level against significant supply chain complexities and requirements. Tristan was hand-picked to help take TMX to the next level, connecting our divisions and enhancing our operational effectiveness globally.

“Tristan brings unique industry and consulting perspectives to TMX that will be instrumental in our future success.”

TMX is comprised of former client-side practitioners, providing strategic guidance and execution to address supply chain challenges globally, and to connect supply chain transformation with critical business functions.

Tristan is working alongside TMX cofounder and Executive Managing Director, Milan Andjelkovic, and Senior Advisor, Geoff Thomas.

Tristan, who moved to Australia from the UK in 2014, commenced May 1 and reports to CEO Travis Erridge.
