Chad Collins, CEO Software at Business Area Supply Chain, said: “With the increasing complexities faced by the supply chain industry, we identify and celebrate the women whose resilience, skills, and leadership have kept supply chain networks moving forward in demanding times. Technology can help, but it will always rely on the leaders who rise to the challenges of our digital age in exemplary ways.”


Five honorees were awarded this year:

Rosemarie Dolatre, Global Distribution Supply Chain Manager at Amgen: the epitome of a global supply chain professional, with a deep understanding of the cultural expectations, government requirements and transportation needs required as she single-handedly led a successful MSI Audit implementation across four global regions.

Shira Yoskovitch, Vice President Corporate Development & Transformation at SCI Group Inc: as a recognized voice in the industry with over 25 years in supply chain strategy and transformation, she has spent much of her career mentoring and coaching women to help them navigate and elevate their own careers. Shira brings expertise, confidence and a continuous-improvement attitude to her work — and makes the industry better for it.
