Top N.A. purchasing, supplier executives to speak at supply chain roundtable on June 12

DETROIT — Three top North American purchasing executives and two top supplier CEOs are scheduled to speak during a June 12 roundtable discussion as part of a longtime charity golf outing in suburban Detroit.

The Executive Supply Chain Roundtable is set to begin at 9 a.m. at Indianwood Golf & Country Club in Orion Township, Mich. The event precedes the 2023 Automotive Golf Classic, now in its 43rd year of raising funds for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeastern Michigan. Automotive News is the media sponsor for the event.

Speakers for the roundtable are:

• Jeff Morrison, vice president of global purchasing and supply chain, General Motors

• Robert Young, group vice president of purchasing supplier development, Toyota Motor North America

• Marlo Vitous, senior vice president, purchasing and supply chain management, Stellantis North America

• David C. Dauch, CEO, American Axle & Manufacturing Inc.

• Ray Scott, CEO, Lear Corp.

Philip Nussel, online editor for Automotive News and executive chairman of the Automotive Golf Classic, will host the roundtable.

“This is the premier automotive golf charity event of the year,” Nussel said. “With the addition of this incredibly timely list of speakers at the roundtable, this is a don’t-miss event for anyone in the North American supply chain. As always, the AGC gives all the key players in the supply chain a chance to network and to raise funds for a very worthwhile cause.”

Vinnie Johnson, the Detroit Pistons legend and founder of auto supplier Piston Group, is honorary chairman of the 2023 Automotive Golf Classic.
