Gartner Analyst

Carlton Sapp is the Managing Vice President of the AI and CSCO Technology team for the Chief Supply Chain Officer practice. He advises leaders on building anti-fragile, AI-driven supply chains that can thrive amid disruption, uncertainty, and accelerating technological change. His expertise spans multi-agent AI governance, AI-powered resilience, geopolitical risk sensing, AI-native workforce transformation, and GenAI-enabled procurement and contract intelligence. A recognized thought leader in the future of intelligence in supply chain, Dr. Sapp helps organizations look beyond operational forecasting to understand the forces that will redefine supply chains over the next decade. His work examines how geopolitical fragmentation, climate transitions, emerging resource dependencies, and breakthrough technologies could fundamentally reshape global trade, manufacturing, sourcing, and logistics networks. He helps executives translate long-range uncertainty into strategic advantage by preparing for multiple plausible futures rather than betting on a single prediction.
