JVKellyGroup CEO Named a 2013 Supply Chain 'Pro to Know'

HUNTINGTON, N.Y. --(Business Wire)--

Jim Kelly, CEO and founder of JVKellyGroup, Inc., has been named to the 2013 Supply & Demand Chain Executive list of 'Pros to Know'. This marks the seventh consecutive honor in his long and illustrious career.

As fiscal belts tighten across the business world, Kelly's firm continues to maintain a track record of excellence in the economically crucial procurement space. Kelly's three-plus decades of experience in pinpointing and addressing key inefficiencies in a company's procurement practices guide his team in creating customized strategies for procurement divisions of all sizes. The goal is to help companies make smart sourcing and supply management decisions that marry cost-cutting and risk mitigation.

"Smart spend analysis and sourcing isn't about following the path to the greatest cost savings. It's about creating a plan that creates the most value to the organization, and truly understanding the data that makes the difference between business impact and status-quo," said Kelly. "In the past two years since JVKellyGroup spun out from D&B, we've redoubled what we do best - working closely with businesses to help them apply intelligence to create a bottom line impact."

Kelly joins other top-performing supply chain providers and practitioners who exemplify commendable talent, knowledge, skills and effort to effectively manage supply chains this past year.
