ketteQ Expands Leadership Team: Appoints Jenny Newton as VP Alliances and Promotes Nicole Taylor to VP Marketing

At ketteQ, we are building the future of AI-powered adaptive supply chain planning, and that future is shaped by exceptional people. Today, I'm thrilled to announce two important additions to our leadership team as we welcome Jenny Newton as our Vice President of Alliances and to celebrate the well-earned promotion of Nicole Taylor to Vice President of Marketing.

These leadership updates mark an important milestone as we accelerate growth, deepen strategic alliances, and drive continued innovation.

Passing the Torch: Nicole Taylor to Lead Marketing as Gary Brooks Retires

As Gary Brooks is preparing to retire as our Chief Marketing Officer in June, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the significant impact he’s had on ketteQ. From shaping our brand to driving demand generation and go-to-market strategy, Gary’s leadership has been instrumental in getting us to where we are today.

Fortunately, he’s not going far. Gary will transition to our Executive Advisory Board, where he’ll continue providing strategic guidance and insight. With Gary’s transition, Nicole Taylor will step into the VP of Marketing role, leading our global marketing efforts with her expertise in data-driven strategy, demand generation, and brand growth.

Celebrating Nicole Taylor’s Promotion to VP of Marketing

Nicole has been a driving force behind ketteQ’s marketing success. With 20+ years of experience in brand development, strategic marketing, and demand generation, she’s played a key role in elevating our brand presence, relevance and differentiation while  driving measurable business impact.

As Senior Director of Brand and Marketing Communications, she spearheaded ketteQ’s brand transformation—crafting compelling messaging and design to expand market engagement and launch data-driven campaigns that accelerated our momentum.

As VP of Marketing, Nicole will lead ketteQ’s global marketing strategy, driving demand generation, brand awareness, and thought leadership to strengthen our position as the leader in adaptive supply chain planning. With her leadership, ketteQ’s marketing will continue to challenge, disrupt, and drive the future of the industry.

Welcoming Jenny Newton, VP of Consulting Partnership

I’m thrilled to welcome Jenny Newton to the ketteQ family (AKA: KetteCrew). Jenny is a seasoned leader in strategic alliances, consulting partnerships, and supply chain planning, bringing experience from o9 Solutions and Blue Yonder.

Her ability to build strong, high-impact relationships with consulting partners makes her an incredible addition to our leadership team

As VP of Alliances, Jenny will expand and strengthen ketteQ’s consulting partnerships, fostering seamless collaboration with industry-leading firms and enhancing our partner ecosystem. Her leadership will drive strategic growth, enabling partners to leverage ketteQ’s adaptive planning solutions for greater client success across the supply chain landscape.

Join us in thanking Gary and congratulating Jenny and Nicole as they step into these important roles, driving ketteQ’s vision forward. The best is yet to come!
