100-WORD PROGRAM BIO

Formatted for printed conference programs, registration landing pages, and webinar registration.

Sean Simmons leads Process and Automation for Customer Experience at MSC Industrial Supply and is Founder and Principal of Kado Advisory. His career began in distribution operations at Target and developed through change management into enterprise AI adoption. He brings that experience to keynotes, workshops, and advisory sessions, helping leaders refine processes before adding automation. His approach starts with how the business works and the people doing the work, then measures whether AI improves the outcome.

TIER 3 • BOARD & KEYNOTE PACKETS

FULL EXECUTIVE BIO

Formatted for formal board packets, executive summit brochures, and bureau directories.

Sean Simmons began his career in the trenches of high-volume supply chain distribution operations at Target, where he led large teams and spearheaded continuous improvement initiatives that expanded across Target's entire Southeastern regional distribution network. Those experiences taught him a fundamental truth early on: a better process only creates value if people actually embrace and adopt it. That realization sparked his commitment to the human side of operational leadership and drew him directly into organizational change management.

Driven to master the discipline, Sean independently studied the end-to-end Prosci change methodology. That self-directed foundation paved the way for his role as Enterprise Change Management Program Manager at MSC Industrial Supply, and he later earned his formal Prosci certification with a specialized focus on enterprise AI adoption (CPM-AI). Alongside change leadership, he spent years dissecting the emerging technologies of machine learning and automation architectures. By connecting structured change governance with hands-on AI deployment, his work delivered measurable operational returns, which led directly to the creation of a specialized role. Today Sean leads Process and Automation for Customer Experience at MSC, guiding AI adoption across roughly 3,500 associates and engineering production workflows, custom agents, and content engines using frontier tools like Microsoft Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, and Codex.

Through this work, one principle has remained constant: AI is not a one-size-fits-all shortcut. Generative tools deliver true ROI only when they are tailored to the exact workflows of a business and the people operating them. Applying generic AI solutions without workflow clarity often costs organizations far more in rework and confusion than it ever delivers in productivity. Automating a broken process never fixes the underlying dysfunction, and injecting AI into a broken workflow simply accelerates existing problems at scale. That is why Sean's approach starts by deconstructing, optimizing, and refining a process before touching a single line of automation.

Through Kado Advisory, Sean brings that approach to keynotes, executive workshops, and tailored advisory sessions, helping leaders design practical, high-impact AI solutions built around how their business runs.
