Logility Congratulates Rebecca Springett of Croda & Rita Fisher of Reynolds
ATLANTA – September 18, 2023 – Logility, Inc., a leader in prescriptive supply chain planning solutions, announced that Rebecca Springett, Global Process Owner, for Croda and Rita Fisher, CIO and SVP of Supply Chain for Reynolds have been named winners of Supply & Demand Chain Executive’s 2023 Women in Supply Chain Award. This award honors female supply chain leaders and executives whose accomplishments, mentorship, and examples set a foundation for women in all levels of a company’s supply chain network.
“This year, we received over 400 submissions, the highest amount of applications not only for this award, but also for all of our awards. What’s more, 118 of those applications were submitted by male counterparts, nominating their boss, co-worker, or associate. This shows progress. This shows hope that one day, we won’t need an award like this because men and women in the supply chain will be equal,” says Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive.
Nominated for their commitment to process improvement and lifting those around them, Rita and Rebecca both exude the qualities required to receive this award.
Rebecca implemented a strategy for advancing the design of Croda’s supply chain organization and processes on a global scale. Her supply chain transparency program is empowering the supply chain organization to increase their efficiency, accuracy, and knowledge base. With promoting customer and employee experience at its heart, the program is supporting improvement through the end-to-end supply chain by focusing on developing people, standardizing, and maturing process, and investing in technologies to support an agile and resilient supply chain.
Rita developed a three-pillar “Digitizing Supply Chain” strategy after realizing that to transform how Reynolds works and operates, they needed change throughout their entire organization. This strategy is focused on three pillars: grow our people, delight our customers, and build an agile network. The supply chain was a key area of focus, helping people build skills and capabilities while bringing in new digital solutions to help Reynolds be more agile and transparent.
“We congratulate our clients who have been recognized as leaders in the supply chain industry and who have contributed to significant advancement within their organizations,” said Allan Dow, president, Logility. “This award celebrates the important contributions that Rebecca and Rita are making to the supply chain industry, and we are proud to work closely with companies such as Croda and Reynolds that promote and support women in strategic leadership roles.”
“Women have been making a significant impact in supply chain management, contributing to the growth and innovation of the supply chain industry. As more women join the supply chain workforce, they bring diverse perspectives that can help address complex supply chain problems and improve global supply chain operations. It is important that we empower, recognize, and elevate these achievements through initiatives like the Women in Supply Chain Award, as seen through the overwhelming response,” says Sarah Barnes-Humphrey, founder of Let’s Talk Supply Chain podcast and Blended Pledge project, both exclusive sponsors of the Women in Supply Chain award.
