Shocking Statistics on Women in Logistics; Diageo Supply Chain Interview; Hi-Tech Supply Chain Webinar
I would like to draw your attention to the new infographic about Women in Logistics. Some frightening statistics are included about how under-represented females are in this industry…on a related but more positive note there is a really insightful interview with Joy Rice, the new Supply Chain Director of Diageo in APAC to share with you this week.
Lastly…two dates for your diary. Wednesday 9th April at 11:30am CET is a complimentary webinar “Best Kept Secrets to Globalising Your Hi-Tech Supply Chain” – this will be a great listen/watch even if you are not directly involved in the hi-tech supply chain, as there is a lot to learn from this industry. Even if you cannot make it this time, by signing up you will be sent the recordings. June 11-13 in Chicago is the 12th 3PL Summit and CSCO Forum featuring 600 top executives – you can see the current attendee list here and view the updated brochure featuring a detailed agenda, and updated speaker list here.
