NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Management consulting firm Kurt Salmon is pleased to welcome Bill Loftis as a director in its Retail and Consumer Products Group.

Mr. Loftis, who will be based out of Kurt Salmon's Atlanta office, has more than 25 years of supply chain consulting experience, most recently with Tompkins International, where as senior principal he led the firm's network planning and transportation service lines. Prior to Tompkins, Mr. Loftis spent five years with supply chain consultancy Chainalytics, where in 2010 he was named a "Pro to Know" by Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine for his work advancing the use of meaningful transportation metrics by utilizing business intelligence applications.

"I'm looking forward to helping the supply chain clients of Kurt Salmon, which brings deep merchandise and planning expertise and combines it with innovative, data-driven solutions."

Madison Riley, managing partner of Kurt Salmon's North American operations, lauded the depth and breadth of Mr. Loftis' supply chain expertise.
