About Jon
A Practitioner Writing for Practitioners
I am a demand planning professional and the founder of The Next-Gen Planner. I work full-time in supply chain planning and write about what I see happening in the profession, not from the outside looking in, but from inside the meetings, the models, and the Monday morning fire drills.
Over the past three years I have attended more than a dozen supply chain planning conferences, held one-on-one conversations with planners across manufacturing, CPG, retail, and distribution, and interviewed more than one hundred practitioners navigating AI's impact on the profession.
I also co-founded the North Atlanta Supply Chain Planning Network, a local professional community for planners across the region.
