Former Mastercard Exec Joins CAPS Research

In the US, B2B nonprofit CAPS Research has appointed former Mastercard exec Bryan Fuller as Executive Director, replacing Deborah Stanton who retired in July.

CAPS Research is part of the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), a not-for-profit professional organization with 50,000 members in more than 100 countries. The division delivers sales-free, consultant-free primary research, benchmarks and best practice advice, as well as peer-to-peer networking events. Fuller (pictured) joins from Mastercard, where he served as Chief Procurement Officer and EVP of Supply Chain and Corporate Services. Before this he held various leadership positions in supply chain management with Monsanto, Whirlpool and Temple-Inland, CAPS says his experience leading supply management groups will provide it with an understanding of the needs of large global organizations.

Thomas Derry, CEO of the Institute for Supply Management, comments: 'Both CAPS and ISM are laser-focused on advancing the practice by empowering practitioners and informing strategy, at all levels of the organization. I very much look forward to partnering with Bryan to ensure that together, we provide the invaluable supply management knowledge that practitioners depend on'.
