Jean-François Nordmann is an independent Supply Chain advisor and the founder of DataLeo, based in the Lyon area. He supports companies with Supply Chain transformation, planning operating models and the adoption of advanced planning and AI-enabled decision-support capabilities.
His work focuses on Supply Chain Planning, Sales and Operations Planning, IBP, demand planning, supply planning and APS platforms. His public freelance profile reports more than 15 years of experience and references assignments or experience involving companies including Michelin, Baxter, Petzl, Candia, Hermès, Intech Medical and Salomon.
Jean-François Nordmann has also worked on the development of the French market for o9 Solutions, covering planning-needs qualification, platform positioning and discussions with Supply Chain, IT and transformation leaders. His current positioning combines planning expertise with Supply Chain AI, decision applications and governance of business-built AI tools.
His recent publications examine the operational use of AI and vibe coding in Supply Chain, emphasizing that tools should serve an identifiable decision, rely on controlled data and retain clear ownership and validation mechanisms.
Jean-François Nordmann is relevant to the Radar ecosystem because his profile sits between Supply Chain Planning, APS transformation and the emerging use of AI Decision Apps. This combination is increasingly important as operational teams build lightweight tools around established ERP, APS and BI environments.
The practical focus is not only selecting a planning platform, but defining which decision is being improved, what data is required, who owns the logic and what happens when the output is wrong. His work is therefore closely connected to Decision Governance, controlled prototyping, version control and the industrialization of AI-enabled Supply Chain workflows.
