Profile
Dan Dershem is a Managing General Partner at Supply Chain Ventures.
He also serves on the Boards of Directors of Transplace, Transporeon and Llamasoft.
‘Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it.
Impossible is not a fact.
It’s an opinion.
Impossible is not a declaration.
It’s a dare.
Impossible is potential.
Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is nothing” – Muhammed Ali.
For the past 25 years, Dan has had the great fortune of experiencing supply chains from all vantage points.
He was a management team member in Operations during the early days of the 3PL industry.
This was a powerful training ground that resulted in building one of the first SaaS supply chain solutions, LeanLogistics.
From there, he has traveled the globe working with teams from all cultures and backgrounds running a multi-billion-dollar supply chain operation.
Now he has one of the greatest jobs on earth at Supply Chain Ventures, leveraging all the years of knowledge, networks, personal connections and most importantly the scars and mistakes of the past to assist other entrepreneurs in the pursuit of their dreams.
