SCW.AI Announces Strategic Advisory Board to Advance the Future of Pharma Manufacturing
SCW.AI is proud to announce the formation of its Strategic Advisory Board, bringing together a distinguished group of industry leaders to support the company’s mission of modernizing pharmaceutical manufacturing globally.
“Modernizing Pharma manufacturing requires more than adopting AI – it requires building the right foundation first,” said Evren Ozkaya, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of SCW.AI. “At SCW.AI, we focus on preparing pharma manufacturers for AI and advanced technologies by establishing the necessary data foundation and data conceptualization layer. Our advisory board ensures our Digital Factory solutions remain grounded in real-world operational challenges while enabling our customers to scale toward a fully data-governed manufacturing environment.“

The board represents a strategic cross-section of the global manufacturing landscape, providing deep domain expertise and “outside-in” innovation:
Brandon Rockwell
President & COO PAI Pharma
“SCW.Al has tremendous growth potential as our industry increasingly moves from conventional shop floor management via paper-based systems, to more data-driven automated solutions. The pharmaceutical manufacturers adopting cutting edge systems like those offered by SCW.AI will have a competitive advantage over their peers. This dynamic marketplace continues to have competitive pressures, so digital transformation can differentiate the winning companies from the laggards.“
Ozgur Kilic
CFO, restore3d
“I am excited to join the advisory board of Supply Chain Wizard, an innovative company uniquely bringing together deep pharmaceutical domain expertise with technology leadership. With a trusted management team and an interconnected AI platform already becoming the choice of leading pharmaceutical manufacturers, the company has extraordinary potential to solve decades-old operational challenges and deliver meaningful impact across our industry.“
Robert Ljoljo
Fmr. President, Sandoz Slovenia
“I am super excited to join SCW advisory board, to offer my almost 30 years of experience in Manufacturing IT, Supply Chain and Shop Floor optimization and Pharma Corporate management in order to develop “one of a kind” platform aimed to solve long lasting productivity and complexity challenges in Pharma and other life-science industries..“
Ivan Moller
EVP & COO, Zealand Pharma
“Digital transformation in pharma manufacturing is no longer a future ambition, it is a competitive necessity. SCW.AI stands out for combining genuine domain expertise with a platform that’s actually built for the regulatory and operational realities of our industry. I’m glad to contribute to shaping where they take this next.“
Sagar Patel
Fmr. COO, Pharmanovia
“Having spent over 25 years navigating the complexity of regulated pharmaceutical manufacturing across global markets, I know how far technology has lagged behind the industry’s ambition.
SCW.AI is different. Their Digital Factory platform is purpose-built for regulated manufacturing – connecting shop-floor operations to real-time, AI-driven decision-making and delivering the compliance rigour the industry demands.
The vision of a self-driving supply chain is no longer aspirational – it is becoming a baseline requirement. SCW.AI is ahead of that curve, and I am proud to support their mission of making medicines more accessible and affordable worldwide.”
John Chiminski
Fmr. Chairman & CEO, Catalent; Sr. Advisor, Bourne Partners
“The CDMO market, in particular, must stay ahead in building digital capabilities to ensure reliable, high-quality product supply at competitive cost. The next wave of advantage will come from how effectively companies translate that digital foundation into AI-driven insights and execution on the shop floor. SCW.AI has demonstrated the ability to deliver meaningful value at scale – even in complex environments like sterile fill/finish – and I’m excited to join the advisory board as they expand their global impact.”
Michael Altman
VP, Supply Chain, Kenvue
“Achieving unified visibility across a global network of sites is a critical goal for modern pharma manufacturing. I am proud to be part of this board and to collaborate with a company whose leadership clearly understands how to leverage data foundation and manufacturing analytics to drive real-world productivity and end-to-end supply chain harmonization.“

“I am excited to join this board at a time when digital transformation is transitioning from a ‘nice-to-have’ to a critical part of strategy. By leveraging SCW.AI’s advanced manufacturing intelligence, we can create a more resilient supply chain and enhance commercial execution as a direct result of translating real-time manufacturing data into actionable insights. This level of discipline is an effective lever for preserving long-term EBITDA and driving lasting enterprise value.”
