Lisa Anderson of LMA Consulting Group has been recognized as a leading woman driving innovation in logistics and supply chain by Global Trade Magazine. The global supply chain has been faced with geopolitical shifts, technological acceleration, sustainability mandates and evolving customer expectations, and so innovative and forward-thinking leaders are a “must” to navigate successfully and ensure customer and business success. These leaders span the specter from global trade to goods movement to the supply chain ecosystem.
The global supply chain has become more complex, interconnected and a web of system of systems (thanks to our Southern California Ladies of Logistics guru, Fran Inman for the phrase). To succeed, predictive agility, forward-thinking innovation, and bold leadership are essential. Women leaders are having an increasing influence in supply chain, making innovative contributions and powering supply chain success. Global Trade is once again spotlighting women who exemplify this transformative impact. Recognized for their accomplishments in 2024 and poised to continue shaping the industry in 2025, these leaders are driving innovation across multiple fronts from implementing cutting-edge AI and digital platforms, to pioneering sustainable practices and fostering inclusive, high-performing workforces.
As discussed in our article, “What We’ve Learned Over 20 Years,” supply chain success will focus on the importance of AI, the critical necessity of natural resources (critical minerals), and the expansion of domestic manufacturing and regional supply chains. The best will pursue advanced technologies and predictive processes such as SIOP (Sales Inventory Operations Planning) to stay ahead of changing business conditions and create superior customer value and operational success.
