SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Fictiv, the operating system for custom manufacturing, today announced the appointment of Andy Sherman to General Manager, USA.
This appointment comes in response to customer demand for on-shore and hybrid manufacturing solutions to mitigate supply chain risk and improve resilience, speed, and agility in the face of rising geo-political, regulatory, and resourcing industry challenges.
In his seven-year tenure with Fictiv, Sherman has played an integral role in optimizing Fictiv’s global supply chain. He will lead Fictiv’s US-based manufacturing operations in this new role, overseeing all localized strategic sourcing, quality, logistics, and manufacturing engineering functions.
“Andy’s manufacturing and engineering know-how combined with his supplier management and international supply chain experience make him the perfect fit to oversee the strategy and operations of our US manufacturing footprint,” said Dave Evans, Fictiv, CEO and Co-Founder. “This new position will help us deliver a Fortune-500-class global supply chain for custom manufacturing into the palm of our customers’ hands.”
Before joining Fictiv in 2016, Sherman held manufacturing & supply chain management positions at notable companies, including Orion Labs and Oracle. He was named a 2021 Pros to Know by Supply & Demand Chain Executive. Sherman holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Industrial & Systems Engineering in addition to his EMBA degree.
“To succeed in today’s challenging climate, manufacturing companies need robust supply chain options that serve prototyping to production needs onshore in the United States,” said Sherman. “I’m thrilled to help shape the future of Fictiv’s US-based manufacturing operations and provide our customers with end-to-end new product development capabilities at unprecedented speeds here at home.”
Fictiv now operates in three global regions, the USA, India, and China, with more regions under development, helping customers to simplify sourcing for custom mechanical parts.
