This award honors female supply chain leaders and executives whose accomplishments, mentorship, and examples set a foundation for women at all levels of a company’s supply chain network.
QUINCY, MA — SEPT 17, 2024 — Food Logistics, the only publication exclusively dedicated to covering the movement of products through the global cold food supply chain, and Supply & Demand Chain Executive, the only publication covering the entire global supply chain, named Jackie Syverson and Amber Miller as two of the winners of this year’s Women in Supply Chain Award, which honors female supply chain leaders and executives whose accomplishments, mentorship, and examples set a foundation for women at all levels of a company’s supply chain network.
"I am deeply honored to be included among such inspiring women—those who have paved the way, those I have had the privilege to work alongside, and those I greatly admire," said Jackie Syverson, Director of Carrier Sales at FreightPlus.
“This recognition is especially meaningful because of the many talented women I’ve had the privilege to work with over the years. Their mentorship, guidance, and strength have played a crucial role in my journey, and I’m proud to share this achievement with them,” said Amber Miller, Vice President of LTL at FreightPlus.
“Every year, this award continues to amaze me. But this year especially, it’s all about the quality of the submissions. These women are doing remarkable things for their communities, organizations, and teams and are paving the way for future young female leaders to be a part of an industry that’s making a difference,” says Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Co-Founder of the Women in Supply Chain Forum. “New this year, the award was broken down into Rising Stars, Trailblazers, DEI Pioneer, and Workforce Innovator. From there, we named an overall winner per category and then four honorable mentions per category. This year’s applications were superb and made it next to impossible to just pick one winner. I’m so proud of these women and their achievements. We’re just getting started.”
“Women are reshaping the landscape of supply chain management with their unparalleled contributions, igniting growth and fostering innovation across the industry. Their presence not only enriches the workforce but also brings a myriad of perspectives essential for tackling intricate challenges and refining global operations. The Women in Supply Chain award stands as a beacon, celebrating and amplifying their remarkable achievements,” said Sarah Barnes-Humphrey, founder of the Let’s Talk Supply Chain podcast and Blended Pledge, both sponsors of the Women in Supply Chain Award. "Congratulations to all the winners, everyone who was nominated, and all those making an impact. This recognition honors the courage and dedication of all the incredible people who work hard every day. This award is a testament to their unwavering commitment and profound impact on the field.”
