Joern Schmitt

I am an Expert Partner with over 20 years of professional experience in the IT sector, gained in various roles and organizations. Originally starting as an SAP technology consultant in international consulting firms, I developed half of my career in IT leadership positions within large corporations before moving back into consulting about 10 years ago. There, I feel at home in the areas of application architectures, technical architectures, IT testing and evaluation as well as organizational consulting and process optimization. I am passionate about leading IT validation, transformation and migration projects as well as developing IT strategies for organization, processes, architecture and sourcing. Despite the hereby associated industry independence, I have dedicated myself in particular to the field of international logistics or supply chain management and have developed a deep professional expertise in this area. In particular, I feel comfortable in complex or weakly structured or even fuzzy environments to bring corresponding challenges to success.

I joined AdEx Partners in March 2021 and since then I have been supporting large transformation and digitalization projects of our clients. In addition, I develop the Supply Chain Management portfolio area with a special focus on innovation, fulfillment and warehousing as well as transportation management and logistics control. Digital business models, automation, artificial intelligence and AI-based applications in SCM round off my scope of tasks and interests.

I hold a degree in Business Administration and Business Informatics from the University of Münster.
