What I most like about Alan is his ability to think big picture and into the future. He’s also not boring, which is no easy feat when we talk about technology, supply chain and complex topics

Alan is a highly knowledgeable and energetic speaker on the topic of manufacturing supply chain dynamics which are being shaped by emerging technologies such as additive manufacturing and more broadly digital engineering.

Alan’s ability to connect, engage, and excite the audience is powerful and should not be undervalued when looking for an innovation presenter. I would highly recommend Alan to communicate his experience and his vision to an audience that is looking for ways to see how innovation really is a great way to keep moving the needle in the upward direction on business development.
