But that is what it proudly promises , and in 2015 the company brought in the talented Veronica Brown to oversee the development and continued growth of a market leading supply chain function .

With over two decades of global supply chain experience in the oil and gas industry in roles with both Halliburton and BP , Brown brings significant experience of working with international customers in her current role as Vice President of Supply Chain at QMax .

“ I have been on both sides of the table when it comes to oil and gas ,” says Brown . “ I have worked as the operator and as the buyer . So , I understand how things work with regards to buying the products . We need to provide the services , but also how these services are then used by the operator , understanding their pain points , and what they are truly looking for in their product .”

The supply chain function is undergoing a significant transformation in industries all over the world . No longer seen as a separate business function , supply chain is now recognised as a key driver of growth and , in some cases , guiding the strategic direction of a company .

This is no different for QMax . Throughout her career , Brown has seen this evolution happen first hand .

“ This is something where I think QMax is a perfect example . I sit in planning meetings surrounding the future of the company , where we want it to go , what we want it to be , and supply chain is right there in those discussions ,” she says .

“ It is very clear from the CEO to the VPs of Operations and Technology that they need to work closely with supply chain . It has been refreshing , to say the least . Supply chain is part of the discussion from the beginning , and it really enables true collaboration which , in turn , drives the company forward .”
