Chairperson - Jack Debutts,
Retail Returns & Strategic Planning Manager,



After 20 years in the Medical Device Industry as a Manufacturing Manager, and Marketing Manager, Jack made a radical move to Dell in 2000. He spent 4 years in World Wide Procurement (WWP) as a Global Supply Manager and Supply Chain Manager, 2 years as a Product Manager with the Global Technology Group, and a little over a year with the Americas Return and Remanufacturing Center as the Production Control/Strategic Planning Manager. With Dell moving deeper into the Retail space Jack has become one of the point people defining the Reverse Logistics for Retail.
