October 28, 2022

Supply & Demand Chain Executive's editor-in-chief Marina Mayer sat down with this year's Women in Supply Chain winners to talk diversity, equality, training, supply chain education and more.

We need to keep addressing how to fill this gap, how we can work together and build a community of mentors and thought leaders, how to educate companies on the significance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

Here's why.
