B-Stock Solutions’ CEO Howard Rosenberg Recognized as a 2015 “Pro to Know” by Supply & Demand Chain Executive

Award highlights top supply chain industry professionals who are leading initiatives to solve global business challenges

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--()--B-Stock Solutions, operator of the largest network of B2B liquidation marketplaces, is pleased to announce that its CEO Howard Rosenberg has been named to Supply & Demand Chain Executive’s 2015 “Pros to Know” list. The Pros to Know awards recognize supply chain executives that are leading initiatives to solve supply chain challenges in today’s global climate. Howard founded B-Stock Solutions in late 2008 based on the idea that technology and data-driven methodologies could disrupt the traditional and inefficient process of how organizations maximize the value of consumer-returned, overstock and other excess inventory.

“I couldn’t be happier for Howard on being selected as a Pro to Know within the supply chain industry. When True Ventures invested in B-Stock Solutions in 2009, we knew there was a huge opportunity to bring efficiency to the last mile of the reverse supply chain—liquidation—and to educate companies on the earnings and environmental impact that incorporating a better process could have on their overall business and bottom line,” said John Burke, Founder of True Ventures, a Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm. “Howard and the team at B-Stock Solutions are redefining how companies extract value from excess inventory, bringing efficiency, transparency and data-driven technology to the process.”

Since inception, B-Stock Solutions has enabled hundreds of companies, including four of the five largest U.S. retailers, to recover billions of dollars from the sale of excess inventory, typically achieving a 30-50% increase in return over what they were seeing previously.

“This acknowledgment from Supply & Demand Chain Executive is wonderful and further exemplifies why bringing new and innovative solutions to the reverse supply chain is just as important as doing so on the forward side,” said Howard Rosenberg, CEO of B-Stock Solutions. “Returned merchandise alone is a $260 billion a year headache for companies so there is a significant need for forward-thinking solutions that drive maximum efficiency and minimize negative environmental impact. B-Stock Solutions is leading the way by revolutionizing the way excess inventory enters and moves through the secondary market.”

Howard has been named to the Provider Pros to Know section, which is comprised of individuals from software firms and service providers, consultancies, or academia who have helped their supply chain clients or the supply chain community at large prepare to meet industry challenges.
