Written by Supply Technologies | June 18, 2026

Dr Steven Nunez, Supply Technologies’ IT Business Analyst Manager and Head of AI Committee, has been selected as a speaker at the 2026 CDOIQ Symposium, one of the world's leading events for data, analytics and artificial intelligence professionals.

Steven will join a panel discussion titled Your AI Is Only as Smart as Your Data's Context on 22 July, where industry leaders from sectors including manufacturing, financial services and technology will explore how organisations can build the trusted data foundations needed to support effective and responsible AI adoption.

Hosted by the MIT International Society of Chief Data Officers, the symposium brings together senior executives, data leaders and AI specialists from around the world to discuss the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of data-driven organisations.

Steven was invited to participate after being identified by event organisers for his work leading AI initiatives within Supply Technologies and for helping to drive the company's approach to AI governance and adoption.

As Head of AI Committee, he has been instrumental in establishing frameworks designed to support the responsible, secure and strategic implementation of artificial intelligence across the business, helping ensure the technology enhances decision making and operational efficiency while maintaining appropriate governance and oversight.

Prior to joining Supply Technologies in 2025, Steven held senior technology leadership roles with Google and Meta Platforms. He is also recognised for his academic achievements, holding two doctoral degrees in business and information technology, alongside four master's degrees and more than 25 industry certifications.

Steven said: "It is both an honour and a responsibility to be invited to speak at an event of this calibre. Opportunities like this allow you to share experiences, learn from other organisations and contribute to important discussions about how AI can be adopted responsibly and effectively.

"I'm particularly proud to represent Supply Technologies. Manufacturing and supply chain organisations are not always the first industries people associate with artificial intelligence, but they have enormous opportunities to benefit from these technologies. Innovation is not limited to technology companies, and events like this provide an important platform to demonstrate how businesses across all sectors can embrace AI in a practical and meaningful way."

Supply Technologies is currently exploring how artificial intelligence can support operational efficiency, knowledge sharing and decision making across the organisation, while maintaining a strong focus on governance, security and business value.

Steven's panel session will take place on 22 July as part of the 2026 CDOIQ Symposium in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
