THE RAINMAKERS
thoughtleaders
For our 2016 Rainmakers, success isn’t just
about fame and fortune. It’s also about
making a contribution to the logistics field
and advancing the profession.
Some measure success by salaries and titles. Others use a different yardstick altogether. Take the nine professionals selected as our
2016 Rainmakers, for example. When asked
about their proudest professional accomplishments, one spoke of the rewards of nurturing
talent within his organization and the satisfaction of watching protégées go on to make their
own mark on the profession. Another cited his
involvement in a program that has helped raise
awareness of supply chain management within
the broader business community.
So who are these Rainmakers and how were
they chosen? As in the past, DC VELOCITY
selected the 2016 Rainmakers in concert with
members of the magazine’s Editorial Advisory
Board from candidates nominated by readers,
board members, and previous Rainmakers and
DCV Thought Leaders. This year’s selections
represent different facets of the business—from
practitioners to consultants to educators to
service providers. But as the profiles on the
following pages show, they’re united by a common goal of advancing the logistics and supply
chain management profession.
If you’d like to nominate someone for our
2017 Rainmakers report, please send your suggestions to DC VELOCITY’s chief editor, David
Maloney, at dmaloney@dcvelocity.com.
