Amenallah Reghimi, chief product and technology officer, RegASK, was named the overall winner of the Rising Stars category for this year’s Pros to Know award, presented by Supply & Demand Chain Executive.
Reghimi serves as chief product and technology officer at RegASK, responsible for defining and executing the company’s product, technology, and innovation strategy in support of global supply chain and regulatory operations. On a day-to-day basis, Reghimi works closely with executive leadership, customers, and cross-functional teams to ensure regulatory intelligence is embedded into critical supply chain decision-making processes. His responsibilities include setting product direction, overseeing AI-driven regulatory intelligence platforms, and ensuring that regulatory insights are delivered in a way that directly supports procurement, supplier management, product lifecycle planning, and market access.
Reghimi also leads global product, engineering, data, and AI teams, translating complex regulatory and supply chain challenges into scalable, practical solutions used by multinational life sciences and CPG organizations. This includes prioritizing capabilities that improve visibility, reduce risk, and enable proactive responses to regulatory changes across multiple geographies.
And, he plays a hands-on role in customer engagement, working with supply chain, regulatory, quality, and operations leaders to understand real-world constraints and ensure solutions deliver measurable operational and strategic value.
For the past 15 years, Reghimi has held senior leadership roles across supply chain technology, procurement, and regulatory intelligence. Most notably, he spent nearly a decade as VP, product at JAGGAER, where he led global product strategy for enterprise procurement and supply chain solutions. During this time, he worked closely with procurement, sourcing, supplier management, and operations leaders to modernize supply chain processes and improve visibility, efficiency, and control across complex, multi-tier supply networks.
Now at RegASK, he plays a pivotal leadership role in repositioning regulatory intelligence as a core supply chain function rather than a downstream compliance activity.
One of his most significant initiatives has been leading the development and deployment of AI-driven regulatory intelligence platforms that automate regulatory monitoring, interpretation, and impact assessment at scale. These initiatives have reduced manual effort for regulatory and supply chain teams, improved accuracy and consistency, and enabled organizations to proactively manage regulatory change before it disrupts operations.
Reghimi has also been instrumental in fostering cross-functional collaboration between regulatory affairs, supply chain, quality, and commercial teams. By creating shared workflows and a single source of truth for regulatory intelligence, he has helped organizations break down silos, improve accountability, and align execution with strategic objectives.
Over the next 12 months, Reghimi’s primary goal is to further evolve regulatory intelligence from a system of record into an intelligent, autonomous layer embedded across supply chain decision-making.
Reghimi sits down with Marina Mayer, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive and co-founder of the Women in Supply Chain Forum, to talk about the importance of ensuring regulatory intelligence is embedded in today’s critical supply chains.
Supply & Demand Chain Executive: Let’s first talk about you. Tell me a little bit about yourself and your journey to get to this current stage in your career?
Amenallah Reghimi: I lead product and technology organizations through growth and transformation by building repeatable revenue engines, scalable operating models, and enterprise-grade platforms. My focus is accelerating revenue, improving margins, and enabling businesses to scale with discipline in regulated and data-intensive environments, with attention to unit economics and long-term enterprise value.
At RegASK/SPRIM Group, as chief product and technology officer, I lead product, technology, security, and AI with a mandate to scale the business commercially and operationally. I drove the platform’s evolution into an enterprise regulatory intelligence system, including RegGenius, what we believe is the world’s first multi-AI agent system for regulatory intelligence. My role combines product leadership with financial discipline, aligning roadmap decisions with ARR expansion, cost-to-serve optimization, and acquisition readiness.
Previously at JAGGAER, I held senior product and technology leadership across global procurement and commerce platforms. I owned an 18-product enterprise portfolio, and supported customers managing $500 billion-plus in annual spend. I led portfolio rationalization, pricing strategy, margin improvement, and partnerships with Pendo and Salesforce, playing a key role in launching Autonomous Commerce and preparing the platform for exit.
Alongside operating and board roles, I serve as senior advisor at Rothschild & Co, contributing to acquisition strategy, M&A due diligence, and technology evaluation. My work focuses on scalability, investment risk, synergy realization, and value creation from a private-equity perspective.
At Perx Technologies, I led the transformation into the world’s first intelligent loyalty platform in financial services, empowering banks like DBS, UOB, and Trust Bank, as well as leading retail and media enterprises. I scaled platforms from 2-40 million-plus users, supported systems processing $10 billion-plus in transactional volume, and aligned product innovation with capital-efficient growth.
What drives me: turning complex technology into measurable outcomes that compound over time.
Supply & Demand Chain Executive: One of the achievements outlined in your submission is how you led the development and deployment of AI-driven regulatory intelligence platforms to automate regulatory monitoring, interpretation, and impact assessment at scale. Walk us through what this entails.
Reghimi: Deploying AI-driven regulatory intelligence at scale means building an end-to-end system that converts regulatory change into structured, actionable work across the product lifecycle.
At RegASK, this includes:
- Continuous monitoring: tracking regulatory updates across markets and authorities, with clear scope and coverage.
- Interpretation at scale: using AI to summarize, classify, and extract key obligations and changes into a consistent structure that teams can trust.
- Impact assessment: mapping each change to what it affects, such as products, ingredients, claims, labeling, suppliers, quality processes, and launch timelines.
- Workflow orchestration: routing insights into execution so teams can assign owners, collaborate, document decisions, and close actions with audit-ready evidence.
- Governance and traceability: maintaining versioning and audit trails so every decision is defensible.
Just as important is responsible and ethical AI. We design the system with strong controls so customers can rely on outputs in regulated settings. This includes clear data handling practices, security-by-design, human validation where needed, continuous quality evaluation, and monitoring to reduce error and bias risk. The goal is speed with accountability, not automation without oversight.
Supply & Demand Chain Executive: Also outlined in your application is how you’ve been instrumental in fostering cross-functional collaboration between regulatory affairs, supply chain, quality, and commercial teams. Why is this collaboration important in today’s supply chain world?
Reghimi Regulatory change is never “only” a regulatory issue. It directly impacts sourcing, supplier qualification, quality release, labeling, packaging, customs documentation, and commercial timelines. If teams operate in silos, the result is predictable: late escalations, rework, avoidable disruption, and rising cost-to-serve.
Cross-functional collaboration creates a single operating rhythm across regulatory affairs, quality, supply chain, and commercial teams. It accelerates decisions, reduces friction, improves readiness, and protects revenue by keeping products compliant and moving through the supply chain on time.
Supply & Demand Chain Executive: One of the goals outlined in your nomination form is to deploy multi-AI agent systems to continuously monitor regulatory change. Why is monitoring regulatory change so important? What happens if regulatory change isn’t being monitored?
Reghimi: Regulatory change is constant and time-sensitive. Without continuous monitoring, organizations risk:
- non-compliant products in market,
- blocked shipments and customs holds,
- relabeling, reformulation, and recalls,
- penalties and reputational damage,
- delayed launches and lost revenue.
The biggest cost is often operational disruption. Continuous monitoring provides early visibility, allowing teams to plan, allocate resources, coordinate changes across functions, and execute before deadlines become emergencies.
Supply & Demand Chain Executive: The Rising Stars category recognizes young or newer professionals whose achievements, hard work and vision have shaped the supply chain network. What advice do you have for other young professionals just entering the supply chain space?
Reghimi: Three principles help people progress quickly in supply chain:
1. Master the fundamentals: understand how products move, where constraints sit, and how risk shows up.
2. Build data and systems fluency: supply chains are increasingly run by platforms, analytics, and automation.
3. Develop stakeholder leadership: the highest-impact professionals align regulatory, quality, operations, and commercial priorities into one plan, communicated clearly.
If you can combine operational thinking, financial awareness, and disciplined execution, you will stand out.
Supply & Demand Chain Executive: What are some things not addressed above that would be pertinent to include in the article detailing your strengths, achievements, overall goals, etc.?
Reghimi: A strong theme is disciplined value creation in complex environments. My work focuses on building platforms that scale commercially and operationally, with clear ROI, reliable governance, and strong customer outcomes. I care deeply about practical AI that holds up under scrutiny, improves decision velocity, and strengthens readiness across the supply chain.
