About

As an enterprising technology and supply chain professional l am passionate about becoming a trusted advisor and advocate for my clients. During my career I have been able to leverage my business experience and resourcefulness to develop road maps for the adoption of innovative cloud and on premise solutions aligned with client objectives and with compelling business justifications. As chairman of Supply Chain and Logistics Canada, one of my accomplishments was to orchestrate the merger with the Purchasing Management Association of Canada to form the new Supply Chain Management Association (2013). Continuing involvement with SCMA helps me maintain a strong network of professionals. As an enthusiastic car fanatic I also enjoy amateur level racing when ever possible. Sharing ideas and continuing to learn motivate me. Please reach out to me at 416 407 0100|al.norrie@infor.com if you would like to meet for a coffee or simply a chat.
