In this newly-created senior executive role, Berkovitz will focus on Tecsys’ strategic development and implementation of a unified approach to cloud architecture across product lines.
This overarching role will steer the technology platform that underpins the company’s growing SaaS operations while empowering teams both inside and outside of Tecsys to build the next-gen of supply chain solutions.
