Supply chain transformation veteran brings 37 years of global expertise and sustainability leadership to AI platform's advisory council

FourKites®, the global leader in AI-driven supply chain transformation, today announced that Vineet Khanna, former Senior Vice President and Global Head of Supply Chain at Nestlé, has joined its Strategic Advisory Council. Vineet brings 37 years of multi-cultural experience across strategy, supply chain, procurement, and digital transformation to FourKites' advisory council, where he will provide strategic guidance on global expansion and sustainable supply chain innovation.

At Nestlé, Vineet managed end-to-end supply chain operations and transformation projects encompassing demand and supply planning, physical logistics and sustainability, digital transformations, customer service, and materials management. His leadership spanned 25 years in senior roles at country, regional, and global levels, including serving as a board member of Nestlé Enterprises SA.

"The reality of fast-moving consumer goods is that you're dealing with razor-thin margins and the ongoing risk of spoilage," said Vineet. "Traditional supply chain technology platforms just can't keep up when you're managing thousands of SKUs. But by combining order and inventory twins with AI-powered automation, FourKites is helping teams prevent problems and overcome the constant fire-fighting of problems that can erode those already-thin margins."

FourKites' Strategic Advisory Council brings together accomplished supply chain executives with decades of hands-on experience. The Council represents FourKites' commitment to understanding the practical realities supply chain leaders face, ensuring the company's solutions address genuine market needs.

"Vineet understands that supply chain excellence directly drives market share and profitability," said Mathew Elenjickal, Founder and CEO of FourKites. "He's operated at the intersection of supply chain and business strategy, where information gaps translate into lost revenue and customer defections. His guidance will help ensure our AI platform delivers what C-suites actually care about: protecting service levels during disruptions, reducing working capital tied up in safety stock, and automating workflows that can impact the bottom line."

Beyond his corporate achievements, Vineet co-chaired the Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative (SSCI) at the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF), advancing social and environmental sustainability across the industry. He remains active in Catalyst 2030, collaborating with social entrepreneurs globally to accelerate progress toward SDG 2030. Currently, he serves as an advisor to corporates, private equity firms, VCs, and startups across the strategy-transformation-execution spectrum.

Vineet's appointment follows FourKites' evolution beyond real-time visibility to offer the industry's only Intelligent Control Tower™. This platform combines supply chain network data with digital twins and a Digital Workforce of AI agents that autonomously act on visibility data, preventing disruptions before they occur and orchestrating complex supply chain operations. Recognized as a thought leader in business, leadership, supply chain, and ESG, Vineet is a sought-after keynote speaker who brings transformative insights to organizations worldwide. He holds an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad (India) and has pursued advanced studies at IMD Lausanne and London Business School.
