Supply chain consultancy, TMX Transform, has appointed Colby Chiles as Global Executive Director, Supply Chain.

Based in the US working across the group’s global client base, he joins TMX with more than 20 years' experience in supply chain and business transformation, including 17 years in senior leadership at The Home Depot. 

He will also play a key role in the expansion of TMX's supply chain consultancy in the Americas, drawing on his experience building one of the country's largest retail distribution networks. He was previously an independent consultant, advising retail clients in the US and Australia. Before that, he spent 17 years at The Home Depot, where he helped build its core supply chain services and delivery capabilities. As Vice President of Supply Chain Delivery, he led direct-to-customer delivery strategy, customer experience and operations across online and physical channels. 

Milan Andjelkovic, Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer at TMX Transform, says: “We're delighted to welcome Colby to TMX. His experience leading transformation at one of the largest retailers in the US brings real depth to our global leadership team. As clients face growing pressure to adapt their networks, Colby's perspective will be invaluable in helping them make the right decisions, faster.”

Chiles says: "Retailers are under pressure from both sides right now. Customer expectations keep rising while the risks to supply keep multiplying. Too often, networks are designed around a very specific scenario that never actually happens, so businesses need to be flexible and resilient enough to handle the upside and the downside."

"That's why it's such an exciting time to join TMX. Its global reach and integrated expertise across supply chain and real estate put it in a great position to help clients build networks ready for whatever comes next, and I'm looking forward to being part of that growth." 

Jeff Bornino, President - Americas at TMX Transform, says: “Colby’s appointment strengthens our team at an important time for the business. His experience at The Home Depot, across network strategy, delivery and the pro customer, means he understands the decisions our clients are facing from the inside. That depth of retail supply chain expertise will help us continue to grow and support clients as they build networks that can adapt to changing demand and ongoing disruption.”
