A logistics operations leader in the United States has been recognized among the 2026 Women in Supply Chain Forum Rising Stars for her contribution to AI-driven operations, workforce development and high-performing logistics management.
The recognition highlights the growing role of women leaders in advancing technology and operational excellence across the supply chain sector.
The award recipient progressed through multiple logistics operations roles before becoming a second-shift manager overseeing a high-volume support operation and several major customer accounts. During the first quarter of 2026, her team achieved its strongest quarterly performance, setting records for revenue, margin and shipment volume.
A key part of her approach has been the adoption of artificial intelligence to support routine operational workflows. By integrating AI-driven tools into daily activities, her team can dedicate more time to customer service, freight coordination and other value-added responsibilities.
She has also strengthened workforce development by creating additional training materials and supporting the onboarding of new employees. These initiatives demonstrate how technology and employee development can work together to improve logistics operations.
Looking ahead, she plans to expand AI-enabled practices across logistics teams and share successful approaches with other managers. The goal is to develop consistent, technology-enabled operating practices that can support efficient freight management across different shifts and locations.
The Women in Supply Chain Forum recognizes professionals whose achievements contribute to the advancement of the supply chain industry. The 2026 awards will be presented during the forum in Charleston, South Carolina, in November.
The recognition reflects a broader trend toward combining artificial intelligence, skilled leadership and workforce development to create more responsive and efficient supply chain operations.
