Clean energy is the hottest topic in every boardroom, but ever wonder what it would take to fully decarbonize the value chain?  This week, PwC’s Sadi Fieldsend and Jeff Briner join us to discuss how companies have the power to transform not only their own supply chain, but society. 

Come join us as we discuss the Future of Supply Chain. 

With 20 years serving the SAP community, Sadi is passionate about people and partnerships. She strives to create experiences where trust, transparency, and collaboration define new boundaries for innovation. Not only has Sadi held various roles that involve SAP implementations, from defining IT strategies and managing large global programs, but she passionately believes in developing others and leading strong partnerships focused on transformation. She also believes that mentoring directly contributes to growth and diversity, both individually and as a collective network.

While Sadi has experience in automotive, chemical, consumer products, manufacturing, and life sciences, she is now dedicated to driving transformation within the utility and energy industry. By realizing the full scope of this industry’s challenges and opportunities for evolution, she understands the end-to-end digital supply chain processes that drive operational efficiency, but never loses focus of the customer and the impact this change can create for them as well as the employees within the organization being affected. She brings this depth of knowledge and insight when leading complex programs, driving innovation, and helping others achieve their corporate objectives.
