We are proud to announce the winners of its inaugural Women in Supply Chain Awards. The awards ceremony, held in Washington, D.C., honored the achievements of women driving innovation, leadership and transformation in supply chain, risk management and procurement.
A total of 214 submissions were reviewed and evaluated by a committee of female leaders at interos.ai. Nominees for the awards were evaluated on their business impact and how they have given back or inspired the broader supply chain industry.
“It was a day honoring the achievements of all women in supply chain. These women are securing critical supply chains to keep chaos at bay and our economy careening forward,” says Lexi Sydow, SVP, Marketing & Insights at interos.ai. “A powerful theme that surfaced from the day was leading through kindness — how this is a strength, not a weakness, especially in a high stakes field like supply chain risk management.”
