Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Leading a State Owned CDMO
Q: What is it like being a state-owned business, and how does the decision process for acquisitions differ from private sector companies?
Being state-owned in Sweden means operating with arm's-length governance, a single government owner, and a board that includes government representation but also independent directors. The owner sets high-level expectations, including profitability and preparedness, yet the company's strategy and acquisitions still require board acceptance and alignment with public policy duties. This structure can provide strategic freedom in developing long-term capabilities while demanding accountability and transparency.
Meet the Supply Chain Wizard
Q: What role does networking and relationship-building play in Evren's success?
Evren emphasizes authentic networking and being outspoken to build trust and ongoing partnerships; many deals come from repeat business and referrals, with a large portion of revenue stemming from long-term client relationships built over years.
Meet the Supply Chain Wizard
Q: What differentiates Digital Factory from traditional MES solutions?
Digital Factory is designed as an end-to-end platform that goes beyond MES by integrating monitoring, execution, and planning with a data foundation, enabling scalable growth across multiple production lines and SKUs, rather than isolated point solutions.
Meet the Supply Chain Wizard
Q: How did the initial consulting work morph into a software-driven platform?
The Teva Track and Trace project exposed the limitation of consulting-only models at scale. When tasked with onboarding 600+ CDMOs, Evren realized technology could manage complexity more efficiently, driving the development of dashboards, surveys, and automation, which evolved into the Digital Factory platform and eventually SCWAI.
Meet the Supply Chain Wizard
Q: What was Evren's background before founding Supply Chain Wizard and how did it shape the business?
Evren built a foundation in McKinsey's supply chain practice and then led transformations at Sandoz, which gave him insight into the scale and regulatory complexity of pharma. This background reinforced a disciplined, process-driven approach and highlighted the need for end-to-end visibility, which later informed the pivot to scalable software and a platform mindset.
