TMW Systems has hired Rod Strata as executive vice president of operations. Strata has more than 30 years of experience in the transportation, supply chain and enterprise software industries, the company said.

Strata, who most recently was COO for the North American retail business of enterprise software provider SAP, will oversee development, professional service and support for two of TMW’s key product lines. He reports to TMW President David Wangler.

Strata served in a variety of strategic roles over his nine-year tenure at SAP and played a key part in the growth of the company’s global transportation and logistics business. Prior to SAP, he was transportation group president at RedPrairie and, earlier, vice president of transportation and logistics for i2 Technologies. He began his career with Roadway Express and later worked for McLean Trucking and Yellow Freight System.
