Atlanta, USA, September 7th, 2026, FinanceWire

Supply Chain Rock Star is highlighting the importance of practical, scalable supply chain strategies as organizations face increasing pressure to improve forecasting, optimize inventory, streamline operations, and make faster business decisions. With more than 20 years of experience spanning manufacturing, distribution, consulting, and technology, Codye Satterwhite brings a hands-on approach to helping organizations identify operational challenges, strengthen supply chain performance, and develop strategies built for sustainable growth.

Codye currently serves as a Partner at Highspring, a global supply chain consulting firm, where he has contributed to the development of firmwide toolkits focused on Inventory Optimization, Network Design, and Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP). He has also led multiple global S&OP and Integrated Business Planning (IBP) transformations, helping enterprise organizations align operational capabilities with broader business objectives.

His career includes leadership experience with organizations such as CSM Bakery Solutions, Blue Yonder (JDA Software), Target Corporation, and Schreiber Foods. Across these roles, Codye developed expertise in demand planning, distribution, manufacturing scheduling, resource planning, and advanced planning technologies.

At CSM Bakery Solutions, he designed an enterprise S&OP process that contributed to a 12% improvement in forecast accuracy, a 12% reduction in working capital, and a 22% increase in line performance. During his time at Blue Yonder, he developed a global resource planning model that generated approximately $750,000 in annual savings while contributing to a 25% increase in customer satisfaction.

Beyond his consulting and executive work, Codye has become a recognized voice in the supply chain industry through his work at Supply Chain Rockstar. He was named a 2019 Pro to Know by Supply & Demand Chain Executive, recognizing his contributions and leadership within the profession.

A major focus of Codye’s work is making complex supply chain concepts easier for business leaders and practitioners to understand and apply. His recently published book, “Integrated Business Planning: A Practical Guide,” reflects this approach by providing practical insights into IBP and how organizations can use integrated planning to improve alignment between strategy, finance, sales, and operations.

Codye is also preparing his upcoming book, “Sales and Operations Planning: A Practical Guide,” which continues his mission of providing accessible, practical guidance to professionals working to strengthen their S&OP processes and planning capabilities.

His writing and professional experience emphasize an important principle: successful supply chain transformation is not simply about implementing new technology or processes. It requires organizations to create stronger connections between people, data, planning, and business strategy.

Through his consulting work, thought leadership, and practical guides, Codye Satterwhite continues to help supply chain professionals and business leaders navigate increasingly complex operating environments while building planning processes designed for sustainable business performance.
