Supply Chain Management Company Hires New Execs

Three new executives have joined the leadership team at Avetta, according to a press release from the supply chain risk management provider.

Taylor Allis joins as chief product officer, Christopher Lewis has been promoted to chief technology officer and Jitesh Chanchani has joined as senior vice president of partnerships. The additions help Avetta continue to accelerate its supply chain risk management vision with technology, products and solutions for clients and suppliers worldwide.

“Supply chain risk management requires having the data to make the right decisions across the entire network,” said Arshad Matin, Avetta president and chief executive officer. “Our Connect platform helps clients and suppliers work together to manage safety, sustainability and financial risks. It monitors compliance with critical standards and provides the analytics to evaluate performance. The talented and experienced executives joining our team will help us deliver more capabilities and deepen the analytical insights.”

In his role as chief product officer, Allis strengthens Avetta through strategic innovation, feature enhancement and global expansion. His unique experience combined with an innate vision drives safety, sustainability and efficiency across global supply chains. Prior to joining Avetta, Allis led the product strategy and vision at Enablon, a Wolters Kluwer business, and a leader in operational and sustainability software. 

Lewis started at Avetta as a vice president of data analytics in March of 2020. He has more than 25 years of experience in product development and delivery of analytical solutions. He spent the last few years at IHS Markit working across the organization to set up an enterprise data lake and enable data science and analytics.

After consulting for Avetta since February 2020, Jitesh Chanchani joins Avetta full time as Senior Vice-President. Chanchani will drive the new Worker Management strategy, adding it as a solution and revenue engine for the company. Chanchani will build Avetta’s Partner ecosystem. With Avetta’s network of almost 500 clients and 100,000 suppliers, Chanchani will develop strategic partnerships that deliver additional value to that network, contributing toward a safer, more efficient supply chain.

Chanchani brings 25 years of experience in the enterprise software space, across many functions, including product management, business development and mergers and acquisition. Prior to joining Avetta, Chanchani served as the CEO of a venture-backed SaaS software company, Accend Inc. He also held leadership roles at IHS Markit, VMware, and Symantec where he had responsibility for the company’s market-leading GRC product line.
