Troy Edgar
Partner, Federal Supply Chain Transformation Leader, IBM Consulting
Troy Edgar, a U.S. Navy veteran with over 30 years of experience in finance, technology, aerospace, defense and logistics, leads IBM Consulting’s Federal Supply Chain Transformation team, focusing on asset optimization, facility management and supply chain risk.
Supply chains are critical to federal agencies and often require greater resilience than those in industry, he said. Building resiliency takes time, deliberate effort and collaboration.
“It requires partnership with industry and a well-designed strategic plan tailored for the agency and its mission – this is where IBM comes in,” Edgar said. “Combining IBM’s commercial global supply chain expertise with our experienced federal consulting team and innovative AI technologies, we’re helping our federal agency clients not only successfully manage day-to-day, but also prepare for potential future disruptions.”

“Managing a resilient federal supply chain not only means ensuring availability of needed goods and services, but it also means prioritizing data security and ensuring responsible procurement practices,” said Susan Wedge, managing partner for IBM Consulting’s U.S. federal market. “This is where Troy’s cross-sector experience and passion for collaboration are key. He and his team work tirelessly with clients to help accelerate their adoption of critical supply chain technology, AI and automation solutions. Their work with our agency clients represents a best practice on how to build resilient, data-driven, digital federal supply chains.”
Edgar’s team will continue to help federal agencies transform their supply chains from manual processes and disparate systems to data-driven, digitized networks enabled with hybrid cloud, AI and automation.
