With over 20 years of enterprise software leadership experience, McInturff brings extensive expertise to his new role. As CTO at Logility, he led the development of AI-powered supply chain solutions, enhancing user experience and enabling organizations to turn disruptions into strategic advantages. He also held senior leadership roles at Deluxe Corporation, BitPay, PrimeRevenue, and Global Payments.
