Wayne Usie

Chief Strategy Officer

Collaborative, Respectful, Definitive. These words describe Wayne Usie whose personal mantra is “say less, do more” – where results trump words, showcasing customer value at every step in the journey.

As Chief Strategy Officer, Wayne leads Blue Yonder’s Product Management, Sustainability, and Corporate Development, which includes M&A, Blue Yonder Defense Solutions, and the Commercial Excellence teams.

Wayne and his team lead Blue Yonder’s product and go-to-market strategy, driving growth objectives with a goal to power a cohesive and consistent strategy across company/industry/product/geography to build tighter alignment and enablement across the different functions.

Over the past three years, he has overseen the company’s $1 billion product innovation strategy. In addition, over the past two years, he has led four acquisitions, totaling more than $1 billion. As part of these acquisitions, he currently oversees the day-to-day operations and transition of Doddle and flexis.

A trusted advisor to customers worldwide, Wayne has held multiple leadership positions during his more than two decades with Blue Yonder, including Senior Vice President of Americas Sales and Senior Vice President of Product Development. Wayne holds a B.S. in Accounting from Louisiana State University.

In his spare time, Wayne enjoys the Arizona outdoors by golfing and fishing in the Grand Canyon state. His dream job – outside of Blue Yonder, that is! – would be a chef cooking for charitable events. His signature dish? Jambalaya.
