Kenco's Skylar Greer Details Why Food Safety Isn’t Just a Box to Check: Women in Supply Chain Forum™ Award

Skylar Greer, director, account solutions for food and beverage, Kenco, was named a recipient of the 2025 Women in Supply Chain Forum™ Award, presented by Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive and sponsored by Let's Talk Supply Chain, in the Rising Stars category.

Greer works directly with customers to manage their transportation services. She maintains over a decade of experience in the logistics industry. Prior to joining Kenco, Greer worked at another 3PL provider supporting its customers in the beverage space.

One of the core values Greer instills in her team is that food safety isn’t just a box to check. That’s why she’s played an integral role in Kenco’s efforts to change the industry’s mindset that prioritizing safety and quality increases costs. With her guidance, the company developed strategies that keep its customers as cost-neutral as possible while still delivering top-tier service and equipment.

As the only female and black woman at her level in Kenco’s transportation department, Greer stands behind authenticity and conviction. Within Kenco, she takes active steps to become a better leader for her team, participating in Kenco’s leadership cohort L.E.A.D (Leadership Essentials and Development).
