For 45 years, Dina Donnelly ran the international logistics team at Actylis, responsible for managing all inbound logistics, exports, foreign to foreign and tariff management.
She began her career right out of high school in an age when women were not in supply chain, let alone logistics.
She grew from a basic outbound logistics person (managing shipments out of domestic warehouses) into imports management then warehouse and export management and eventually ran the entire team.
A true MacGyver and problem solver, she created over 13 additional female managers, directors and vice presidents.
On March 26, Donnelly passed away at her home surrounded by family.
Donnelly was named a winner of this year’s Women in Supply Chain Forum™ award, presented by Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive, in the Trailblazers category.
