Currently working as the Sr. Director Global Data Strategy at 1WorldSync, Scott Brown leads a team of experts who are working with industry to build, implement, and utilize a harmonized global product information set to improve the buying experience for all organizations and consumers. When used by organizations, the product information set can be populated, validated, and shared with anyone globally from a single entry point.
Scott has spent over 20 years as a supply chain expert responsible for ensuring order to cash processes work according to internal company and external customer needs. His business process reviews enabled the companies he worked with to maximize value in their supply chain and increase market penetration. Prior to his role at 1WorldSync, Scott worked with industry experts to develop global standards used in the communication of product information and classification. These standards allow organizations to share product information from the originator through retailers/distributors/hospitals/restaurants to the consumer. All have been able to benefit from a common set of product information to feed their systems and use cases, including Supply Chain, Marketing, and Consumer facing applications. Scott has worked with the CPG, Hardlines, Foodservice, Produce and Healthcare industries. In the area of classification, Scott worked with industry to support the development and implementation of the Global Product Classification (GPC) system managed by GS1 Global and was manager of the UNSPSC Codeset managed by GS1 US. In this later role, he assisted the development of the UNSPSC Codeset to include all pharmaceuticals and medical devices in the marketplace and introduced layered definitions which allow users to map UNSPSC to other healthcare related classification codes. |
