A great reminder of what happens when technology, AI, and industry expertise come together in the same room.
Dan Sinawat and Sarina Nguyen had the opportunity to represent AI CONNEX and CMC Global at the ASCM North Texas Professional Development Meeting at Hackberry Creek Country Club, surrounded by leaders and professionals across the supply chain industry. ASCM North Texas describes the chapter as part of the global Association for Supply Chain Management community, focused on supply chain, operations and logistics education and professional development.
Dan took the stage for “Decision Intelligence OS for Supply Chain.” Representing AI CONNEX and his role as Advisor & Partner with CMC North America, Dan shared how AI-powered Decision Intelligence can connect operational data, identify root causes, and help organizations make faster, smarter decisions. That intersection between AI and real-world business operations is exactly where so much opportunity exists today.
And the evening came with an unexpected highlight: having the honor of spending time with The Rt Hon Sir Conor Burns.
Sir Conor has had an extraordinary career in international government and trade. He served in the UK Parliament for Bournemouth West from 2010–2024, twice served as Minister of State for Trade Policy, and served as Minister of State for Northern Ireland. He was also appointed the UK Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy to the United States for Regional Trade and Investment, where his work included strengthening trade and investment relationships between the UK and U.S. states, including engagement with Texas. He was knighted in 2023.
Today, Sir Conor continues working at the intersection of international business and global relationships, having recently been appointed President, International & Sovereign Partnerships at Stirlingshire Investments, leading international growth, government engagement, sovereign and institutional relationships, and strategic partnerships.
The evening was the quality of the conversations, supply chain leaders, technology executives, international business, AI, and people thinking seriously about how industries are changing.
For CMC Global, this is what building a presence in Texas is really about: being in the room, building genuine relationships, sharing expertise, and connecting global technology capabilities with the people and companies driving business here in the U.S.
Thank you to ASCM North Texas for bringing this community together, and congratulations to Dan on a great presentation.
