I’m Kat Hutcheson. I build the AI infrastructure that runs oac snacks and Quirk. I also help a small number of other teams build the same systems for themselves, so each one gets my full attention.
I’m convinced we can run supply chain a lot smarter, and this is the start. The goal: 10x what a small ops team can get done, with best-in-class supply chain thinking on tap.
In short
- A decade in global supply chain, most of it at PepsiCo.
- Data science study at the University of Chicago.
- 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 at the spreadsheet stage. Self-install kits you own, or installed with me.
- Advisory, AI for Ops training, and speaking: work with me.
