Chris Soltys

Regional Smart Manufacturing Solutions Leader – North America Bunge

Main Conference Day 2 - Thursday October 16

1:30 PM Empowering the Frontline: A Change Management Playbook for the Connected Worker

At Bunge, the journey toward smart manufacturing is rooted in empowering the connected worker—not replacing them. Chris Soltys will share how Bunge is modernizing its operational infrastructure across North America with a focus on transparency, usability, and cultural alignment. This session will explore how AI, data visualization, and user-centered design are being deployed to enhance—not disrupt—the role of frontline teams, and how thoughtful change management is key to sustainable adoption. 

  • The role of transparency and early engagement in reducing resistance and building trust.
  • How early wins in data visibility help drive momentum and demonstrate value.
  • How user experience directly impacts adoption and long-term success.
  • How Bunge uses workshops, cross-functional teams, and internal champions to drive cultural transformation.
