Transform your Supply Chain into a Value Engine

Jose Algara - Supply Chain Executive and Leadership Coach

With 20+ years optimizing supply chains, leading digital transformations and building technology for companies like Amazon, Nordstrom, A.P. Moeller Maersk and Flexport, I help companies turn their supply chains into a strategic advantage.

Launching companies and leading operations across 12 countries taught me this: lasting transformation requires multi-year vision built incrementally with laser-focused execution. Today, I leverage AI to modernize supply chains—optimizing the flow of merchandise from manufacturing floors to customers' hands.

I create solutions that scale with growth and pivot with change, turning operational complexity into competitive advantage.

What I Do

01

Supply Chain Transformation: From Cost Center to Competitive Advantage

I transform global supply chains into resilient competitive advantages by combining aggressive operational restructuring with enterprise-grade digital transformation, delivering immediate and sustainable P&L impact. This approach consistently unlocks significant working capital through tighter inventory control and drives double-digit margin expansion, while stabilizing and accelerating complex networks to drastically improve service reliability and on-time performance through automated network strategies.

02

Executive Leadership Coaching: Accelerate Your Growth

I provide executive leadership coaching based on real-world success, specifically designed to accelerate the transition of high-potential leaders into the C-Suite by leveraging my experience driving massive organizational transformation. My framework coaches leaders on how to successfully architect and scale product and engineering teams (from 1 to over 300 people), define the digital strategy and multi-year roadmaps necessary for billion-dollar operations, and establish leadership frameworks that improve team velocity, quality of deliverables, and measurable organizational cost reduction.

03

Operational Maturity Assessment: A VP's Perspective

I offer a comprehensive operational maturity assessment framework derived from building, restructuring, and running large-scale supply chains for leaders like Amazon, Nordstrom, and Maersk, providing a data-driven diagnostic that is strictly non-theoretical. This assessment identifies gaps, benchmarks performance against the highest industry standards, and delivers a prioritized, battle-tested roadmap that includes clear ROI expectations grounded in real-world transformation results.

04

AIML & Automation Strategy: Business Value over Technology

I specialize in defining and executing AI and automation strategies that directly convert technical capability into business value, not technology for its own sake. Leveraging experience leading the implementation of AI-powered forecasting and optimization engines across global operations, I help executives prioritize quick-win opportunities and ensure the deployment of solutions are responsible, scalable AI systems designed to drive core organizational metrics, such as improved on-time delivery or optimized inventory control.

My Approach

I've found that the most successful supply chain transformations happen when we address three levels simultaneously:

People

I coach leaders to become strategists who can scale teams from 1 to 300+. Building the right culture and capabilities is foundational—technology alone never wins.

Processes

I reimagine workflows through innovation and emerging technologies, ensuring operations are both efficient and flexible enough to pivot when markets change.

Technology

I deploy cutting-edge solutions—from AI-powered forecasting to enterprise systems—that create measurable competitive advantage. The right tools amplify great strategy.

This comprehensive approach is what turns operations from cost centers into growth engines.
