LeanDNA appoints vice presidents in customer success push. Wed, 5th Aug 2026 (Yesterday) LeanDNA has appointed Lindsey Brown Vice President of Customer Success and promoted Daniel Taylor to Vice President of Solutions & Services, expanding its customer-facing leadership team. Brown joins from Zello, where she served as vice president of customer success, and previously held customer success leadership roles at AlertMedia. At LeanDNA, she will lead the global customer success organisation. Taylor, who has been with the company for 12 years, will take on a newly created role that combines solutioning, customer education, and professional services. He previously helped build LeanDNA's global customer success operations. The appointments come as LeanDNA continues to add senior leaders during a period of growth. In 2025, it secured a strategic growth investment from Accel-KKR and was named to the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the US for a fourth consecutive year. Over the past two years, the company has also added leaders across engineering and product, alongside the appointment of Andy Ellenthal as chief executive officer. Customer roles Brown brings more than a decade of customer success leadership experience. Based in Austin, she will work with manufacturers as LeanDNA expands its customer organisation. Ellenthal said the appointments reflect a broader shift in how LeanDNA supports customers. "Lindsey joins us at a pivotal moment of growth. Her track record of building customer-obsessed teams and delivering meaningful outcomes is exactly what our customers deserve as we scale. At the same time, Daniel's move into Solutions & Services reflects the natural evolution of how we show up for the manufacturers we serve. Together, these leaders position us to help customers realize value faster than ever," said Andy Ellenthal, chief executive officer of LeanDNA. Brown said the role aligns with her focus on customer results. "Every experience in my career has reinforced my passion for helping customers achieve meaningful outcomes and building teams that make a lasting impact. I'm energized to partner with the talented team at LeanDNA as we continue helping manufacturers optimize their supply chains and drive business results. This is a customer-focused, innovative organization, and I couldn't be more excited for what's ahead," Brown said. Expanded remit Taylor's new position formalises a broader remit across services and education as LeanDNA looks to align its advisory and delivery functions. In 2025, Supply & Demand Chain Executive recognised him as a "Pros to Know" honoree for his leadership in customer success operations. The combined structure is intended to shorten the time it takes customers to see returns from LeanDNA's software and services. The company sells supply chain execution software to discrete manufacturers, with a focus on factory-first supply planning and inventory optimisation. Taylor said the new structure reflects how LeanDNA is evolving its customer support model. "We're building an organization designed to help customers realize value faster and turn our collective expertise into a real competitive advantage. Winning in any complex enterprise environment is a team sport, and we have a phenomenal team that I'm excited to keep building. This newly created role is a natural progression of how we show up for our customers," Taylor said. LeanDNA helps manufacturers manage materials visibility, supplier collaboration, and inventory decisions. Its APEX platform is designed to give supply chain teams a clearer view of current and incoming materials and support action based on inventory needs. For LeanDNA, the leadership changes also signal a continued emphasis on post-sale relationships at a time when software companies face pressure to retain customers and demonstrate measurable returns. Bringing in a senior customer success executive from outside the business while elevating a long-serving internal leader suggests a dual approach of adding external experience and preserving operational continuity. That continuity rests in part with Taylor, whose tenure stretches back to the company's early years. Brown, meanwhile, brings experience from software companies that built customer success functions during periods of expansion. LeanDNA operates in a market where manufacturers are trying to improve delivery performance while managing working capital and inventory levels. That increases demand for software vendors that can not only sell tools, but also help customers use them effectively across procurement, planning, and supplier teams.

LeanDNA has appointed Lindsey Brown as vice president of customer success. Brown brings over a decade of enterprise customer success leadership, joining from Zello where she served in the same role, and previously worked at AlertMedia. The Austin-based supply chain execution platform also promoted Daniel Taylor to the newly created role of vice president of solutions and services. Taylor, who has been with LeanDNA for 12 years, will oversee solutioning, customer education, and professional services. The appointments follow LeanDNA's strategic growth investment from Accel-KKR in October 2025. The company has appeared on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies for four consecutive years.

Radius Aerospace and LeanDNA named finalist for the 2026 Supply Chain Excellence Award USA. Jul 07, 2026, 21:16 ET The companies were shortlisted in the Supply Chain Resilience category for delivering AI-driven resilience with APEX by LeanDNA. AUSTIN, Texas, July 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - LeanDNA, a leading intelligent supply chain execution platform, and Radius Aerospace, a premier provider of mission-critical aerospace components, have been named finalists for a 2026 Supply Chain Excellence Award USA. The entry, "Radius Aerospace Achieves AI-Driven Resilience with APEX by LeanDNA," was shortlisted in the Supply Chain Resilience category, which recognizes organizations that have strengthened supply chain adaptability, minimized disruptions, and ensured business continuity amid external volatility. Operating across nearly one million square feet of manufacturing space in the U.S. and the UK, Radius Aerospace faced a classic industry paradox: the "visibility tax" of decentralized sites and the whiplash of OEM demand signals. To overcome these challenges, Radius adopted a strategy of centralized visibility for localized action, integrating APEX by LeanDNA, an AI-powered supply planning platform, across its primary manufacturing hubs to establish a single, authoritative version of truth across the enterprise. The move replaced fragmented spreadsheets and siloed ERP systems with prescriptive, AI-driven guidance, while empowering local site teams to resolve issues in real time. Over 12 months, Radius achieved a 65% reduction in shortages, effectively eliminating the hidden "chaos tax" of expedited shipping, emergency labor, and administrative firefighting. In parallel, the company improved inventory turns by 51%, from 3.5 to 5.3, unlocking working capital previously frozen in excess safety stock. By shattering the myth that resilience requires bloated buffer inventory, Radius proved that AI-driven intelligence and empowered local teams can simultaneously protect mission-critical continuity and improve capital velocity. "For aerospace manufacturers, resilience and efficiency have long been treated as a trade-off, and we've proven they don't have to be," said Darren Hill, Vice President of Commercial Operations at Radius Aerospace. "Customer trust is everything in this industry, and the more agility you have, the more trust you earn. With APEX by LeanDNA, we have real-time visibility that focuses our teams on what matters most, gets us out of reactive mode, and lets us protect both the production line and the balance sheet. Being named a finalist is a credit to the teams across our sites who made that shift." "Radius Aerospace is a powerful example of how AI-driven supply planning turns volatility into a competitive advantage," said Andy Ellenthal, CEO of LeanDNA. "By pairing predictive intelligence with empowered, accountable local teams, Radius built a scalable blueprint for resilient aerospace manufacturing that delivers measurable results." The Supply Chain Excellence Awards USA, presented by Logistics Manager, celebrate excellence and innovation across the supply chain profession. Shortlisted entries are featured in the August issue of Logistics Manager magazine, with winners announced at the awards ceremony on September 15, 2026, in Dallas, Texas. The recognition continues a strong run for LeanDNA in the Supply Chain Excellence Awards. The company and its customers have been honored in consecutive years, including being a finalist with MSA Safety in 2025 (Supply Chain Visibility category) and receiving a "Highly Commended" with Modine Manufacturing Company in 2024 (Digital Transformation category).
