Celebrating Women in Supply Chain: Awards Gala Announced

interos.ai, a trailblazer in AI-enhanced supply chain risk intelligence, is thrilled to unveil its inaugural Women in Supply Chain Awards. Designed to spotlight the remarkable contributions of women who lead innovation and enforce ethical practices, the awards aim to inspire others within the procurement, risk management, and supply chain sectors.

Context and Purpose

According to Gartner's latest findings, the percentage of women working in supply chain roles decreased slightly to 40%. This statistic emphasizes the necessity for initiatives that promote diversity and gender equality in leadership positions. Yardley Pohl, the Chief Product and Technology Officer at interos.ai, remarked, "Diversity in leadership is incredibly important to us at interos.ai. We are proud to report that women constitute 52% of our senior leaders, and with this award program, we strive to elevate and champion the contributions of women in the supply chain field."

Nominations and Categories

The nominations for the awards are officially open until February 28, 2025. Encouraging participation from industry leaders, peers, and even self-nominations, interos.ai invites everyone to recognize those trailblazing women who are shaping the future of global supply chains.

The awards will highlight two main categories:

• - Woman of the Year: This award recognizes an exceptional woman who has displayed outstanding leadership, innovation, and significant impact within the sector of supply chain risk management.
• - Young Leader in Supply Chain: This category honors a woman under the age of 35 whose work demonstrates innovation and substantial contributions to the industry.

Shortlisted nominees will be announced on International Women’s Day (March 8, 2025), culminating in a vibrant awards ceremony at the conclusion of Women’s History Month in March 2025. The selection criteria will focus on measurable contributions made by candidates that have fostered substantial positive change, especially in promoting women’s advancement in supply chain roles.

Recognition and Impact

As part of recognising the contributions, the 2025 Woman of the Year will receive one year of interos.ai’s supply chain risk intelligence software, which she can donate to a charity or non-profit organization of her choice. This adds a layer of commitment to nurturing resilient, ethical, and secure supply chains globally.
