Brett joins Bridgestone Australia in 2024 to support Supply Chain Optimisation for their Pacific region. Previously Brett has worked with the large multi-nationals BHP and Schneider Electric.
He has more than 20 years of experience in supply chains where he has held leadership roles across Asia Pacific related to Quality, Industrialisation, Procurement, Strategy and large-scale Transformations. During this time he has witnessed the evolution of Supply Chains throughout the world, as they have been disrupted and forced to become more tailored, more agile, more sustainable and fully digitized.
He strives to share his experiences and use his knowledge and networks to really support local organisations and to stimulate and grow the professional community that is ASCLA.
Chris Williams has 15 years’ experience in transport and logistics, managing niche portfolios of multi-million-dollar clients across B2B and B2C. He leads sales across global and national supply chains in technical distribution models.
Chris is sales-led but operations-focused, driving process improvement and using data to deliver cost initiatives, strengthen contract governance, and win and retain business. He works end-to-end: strategy, new business, bids, key accounts, and long-term partnerships. Chris joined ASCLA to build his capability, expand his network, and stay close to the industry.
