Rob Chester

Rob Chester founded Supply Chain In-Sites (SCI) in 2021. SCI is an award-winning assurance and certification business helping some of the world's largest food and retail organizations move beyond traditional auditing toward a new model of Real-Time Assurance. By combining technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and independent assurance, SCI enables organizations to identify risks earlier, respond faster, and reduce the cost and disruption of compliance.

Before founding SCI, Mr. Chester was managing director of the UK certification body NSF International. Prior to that, he spent 25 years in senior leadership roles with Tesco and Walmart, including serving as chief compliance officer for Walmart China and leading compliance across Walmart's 5,000 US stores.

Mr. Chester writes and speaks regularly about the future of assurance, AI governance, and how continuous, evidence-based assurance will transform the way organizations build trust.
