Nikos Papageorgiou, a supply chain digitization and transformation expert from Deloitte, has been named VP of customer success. The additions of Israel and Papageorgiou continue a period of rapid growth and talent acquisition for Slync.

“We’re committed to adding top talent and incredible people to the Slync team. Our people and creating a world class team are top priorities for us – and a critical factor in our customers’ continued success with Slync,” said Chris Kirchner, CEO and co-founder of Slync. “Both Samuel and Nikos have a storied history of leading successful supply chain digitization and transformation initiatives for Fortune 100 clientele. They will both add immense value for our customers.”
