Brennan’s appointment brings the Overhaul Board to five members.

“It is a pleasure to welcome Annemarie to the Overhaul Board,” said Barry Conlon, CEO and founder of Overhaul. “Annemarie brings a diverse and impressive skill set to our team, and her deep legal counsel and risk management expertise will be instrumental as Overhaul continues to monitor for, evaluate and mitigate risks within the supply chain space. Her addition will further solidify Overhaul’s position as a global leader in supply chain technology solutions and we are very much looking forward to her future contributions.”


Based out of New Jersey, Brennan is currently EVP & General Counsel with Emids Technologies, a leading provider of digital transformation solutions to the healthcare industry. She brings more than 25 years of experience to the Board, with her business-focused guidance and thought leadership supporting her clients’ growth while providing pragmatic risk management guidance. Her previous roles will help her to uncover emerging trends across industry and priority verticals, while subsequently providing a unique viewpoint to supply chain related matters to better analyze commercial risks. Prior to Emids, Brennan worked with Sivantos Inc., the former audiology division of Siemens Healthcare, and spent more than 10 years in private practice. Brennan earned her law degree from Vermont Law School and her bachelor’s degree from the University of Rhode Island.

Current complexities throughout the industry are having tremendous impacts on businesses - from their bottom line to how they service their customers. Companies need to better anticipate risks on the horizon and it’s a pleasure to work with Overhaul in helping to achieve that.”

“Annemarie will be a great addition to our board,” Jim Preuninger, Chairman of the Overhaul Advisory Board. “Annemarie’s diverse background will bring in a new way of thinking to the board, one that helps with out-of-the-box thinking to ensure Overhaul stays not one, but many steps ahead of unknown challenges by anticipating potential needs and developing strategies that deliver the most advanced tech solutions to solve the supply chain challenges of today and tomorrow.”
