Goldman Sachs Honors LLamasoft for Entrepreneurship

Goldman Sachs Honors LLamasoft for Entrepreneurship
October 20, 2020
No Comments

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (October 20, 2020) – LLamasoft, the leading provider of AI-powered supply chain
analytics software to the world's leading brands is proud to announce that the company’s CEO, Razat
Gaurav, has been recognized by Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) as one of the “100 Most Intriguing
Entrepreneurs of 2020” at its Builders + Innovators Summit. Goldman Sachs selected Mr. Gaurav as one
of 100 entrepreneurs from multiple industries to be honored at the two-day virtual event.
Since joining LLamasoft as CEO in April 2018, Gaurav has further solidified its leadership in the supply
chain design space, and expanded into a broader innovative software-as-a-service (SaaS) based supply
chain decision making platform called llama.ai which is being rapidly adopted by some of the most
highly respected global Fortune 500 companies across manufacturing, retail and logistics. He has also
significantly expanded the company’s focus on customer success, tripled the number of data science and
operations research related experts, and struck strategic partnerships with leading consulting firms as
the business scales up. These efforts have resulted in doubling of LLamasoft’s revenue since Gaurav
arrived at the company. He fosters an inclusive culture built around innovation, while instilling a passion
to improve the lives of people and organizations in everything the “llama herd” does.
“I’m very humbled to be honored by Goldman Sachs for innovation and entrepreneurship,” commented
Razat Gaurav, CEO at LLamasoft. “This is a direct result of the passion, dedication and hard work of
every LLama and our partner ecosystem. Our herd is special, and we continually work together across
the globe to help organizations reimagine decision making across the supply chain. 2020 has brought a
spotlight to supply chains and the need to rapidly apply advanced technologies, rethink the fundamental
design and accelerate digitalization initiatives. LLamasoft’s future is bright and I’m so energized by the
continued innovation of this team.”
Prior to LLamasoft, Gaurav served as Blue Yonder’s Executive Vice President, General Manager and Chief
Revenue Officer. His experience also includes leadership roles at i2 Technologies and Ernst & Young. He
is currently also a member of the Board of Directors of LLamasoft, and the Advisory Board of the
University of Michigan’s Industrial and Operations Engineering Department.
“True innovation is built from a diversity of perspectives and experiences,” said David M. Solomon, Chief
Executive Officer of Goldman Sachs. “Our Builders + Innovators Summit brings together a collective of
impressive future leaders who are striving to drive meaningful change. For over 150 years, Goldman
Sachs has supported entrepreneurs as they launch and grow their businesses. That’s why we are pleased
to recognize Razat as one of the most intriguing entrepreneurs of 2020.”
In addition to honoring 100 entrepreneurs, the summit, which this year took place virtually, consisted of
general sessions and clinics led by seasoned entrepreneurs, academics, and business leaders as well as
resident scholars.
