Prior to that, Tim held the position of President for Americas at Microfocus, President APAC at Infor, and executive roles in global enterprise technology companies like HP and SAP, driving growth initiatives and leading all sales channels.
Moylan stated, “I am thrilled to join Körber Supply Chain Software at this crucial juncture. By integrating MercuryGate’s TMS, we expand our capabilities for precise and efficient logistics solutions globally. With the extended solution suite, we reaffirm that we are not just suppliers but partners investing in clients’ resilience and adaptability.”
