Cindy Christensen On Building Mentorship and Navigating the Supply Chain Gender Gap

Over the last few years, a lot has changed in the supply chain industry. Fueled by constant disruptions that peaked during the pandemic and constant news headlines about the latest chain issues, consumers are more informed about supply chain and how it impacts their communities and daily lives. Once recognized as a basic operational function, supply chain is now recognized as a strategic arm of the business that supports resilience, agility, and growth.

Political and geo tensions, a hard shift to ESG, and the ongoing logistics labor shortage continue propelling delays, shortages, and price hikes. One change that is still in the works is closing the gender gap in supply chain and bringing more female leaders up the ranks. Adding more women to supply chain leadership and operations teams is smart business, that can help empower major progress across the industry. Hard stats show that women bring more curiosity and agility to businesses to drive standout performance.

At Let’s Talk Supply Chain, we’re committed to closing the gender gap in supply chain by recognizing the women achieving milestones and implementing new, smarter approaches. Our monthly Women In Supply Chain™ blog series highlights the female thought leaders who are fearlessly making moves and shaking up the industry. Let’s Talk Supply Chain gives them a platform to share what and who inspires them and how they are driving real change in their businesses.

Let’s Talk Supply Chain™ navigates challenges women supply chain leaders regularly face that all too often go unnoticed. We honor their breakout achievements and the beginnings that positioned them for their success stories, ushering change at businesses across the global supply chain. In our Women In Supply Chain™ blog series, readers hear from women trailblazers across the global industry about their experiences, the obstacles they’ve faced and overcome, and the career advice they have for others working their way up the chain.
