About me

Operator first: a decade at PepsiCo, employee four at oac, now running ops with agents I built.

About me

I’m Kat Hutcheson. I build the AI infrastructure that runs oac snacks. I help a small number of other teams build the same systems, so each one gets my full attention.

We can run supply chain a lot smarter. The goal: 10x what a small ops team can get done.

In short

  • A decade in global supply chain, most of it at PepsiCo.
  • Data science at the University of Chicago (masters dropout: I moved to Ireland instead).
  • Employee number four at oac.
  • Cork-based, US citizen, working across Ireland, the UK, Europe, and the US.

What I build

The AI systems that run ops at oac, end to end:

  • Supply and replenishment planning
  • Master data: one source of truth for SKUs, costs, barcodes and vendors
  • Daily ops reporting and a morning briefing
  • Order dispatch and delivery tracking
  • Inventory and stock-cover monitoring
  • Reconciliation across orders, invoices and refunds
  • B2B and wholesale: trade sheets, ordering, invoicing
  • Subscriptions: retention flows and surprise gifting
  • Customer service tooling
  • Scenario and production planning

Who I work with

  • CPG and Shopify brands, spreadsheet stage and up: self-install kits you own, or installed with me.
  • Ops teams: hands-on AI for Ops training, in person or remote, foundations to advanced. No technical background needed.
  • Founders and execs who want to actually use this, not just hear about it: 1:1 AI coaching and speaking.

The build library is the receipts: every system above, with the code and where it failed.
