ATD appoints chief supply chain officer

US and Canadian wholesaler American Tire Distributors, Inc. (ATD) has expanded its leadership team with the addition of Moid Alwy as chief supply chain officer. In this role, Alwy will oversee a supply chain that ATD describes as “sprawling” and evolve the vision and strategy for the supply chain’s function and innovation.

“I am pleased to welcome Moid to ATD’s leadership team,” said Stuart Schuette, president and chief executive officer. “As we continue to transform our business, we are focused on creating a sustainable supply chain of the future to serve our customers and partners. Moid has a proven track record in designing network strategies and driving supply chain innovation.”

Alwy joins ATD following nearly 20 years at Target, where he began as a lead analyst in 2003 and rose through the ranks to become vice-president of global supply chain and logistics. In his more than four years in this role, Alwy led the company’s Global Operational Intelligence team and was responsible for overall network steering, data & analytics, and critical transformation initiatives. Prior to his time at Target, Alwy spent two years at US Bancorp where he was responsible for the successful technology integration and implementation of mergers and acquisitions.

Alwy graduated with a degree in Information Systems and Mathematics from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. He holds a Lean Six Sigma black belt certification for exceptional leadership capability.

According to ATD, this executive role addition marks the company’s latest transformative business strategy. “Bringing Moid on board to lead our supply chain initiatives is just one piece of our ongoing plan to optimise ATD’s business and creating a truly contemporary, omni-channel, and intelligent supply chain to support our customers and manufacturer partners,” states Schuette. “Moid’s efforts will be key to transforming the ATD supply chain from a traditional tyre distributor to an omni-channel solutions provider.”
