For our 2017 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 eight professionals
selected as our 2017 Rainmakers, for example. When asked
about their proudest professional accomplishments, two spoke
of the rewards of nurturing talent within their organizations and
the satisfaction of watching protégées go on to achieve greater
glory. Another pointed to his work developing a professional orga-
nization that’s relevant and offers practical value to today’s supply
chain practitioners. Yet another spoke with evident gratification of
being told how he had changed peoples’ lives and careers.
So who are these Rainmakers and how were they chosen? As in
the past, DC VELOCITY selected the 2017 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 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 2018 Rainmakers
report, please send your suggestions to DC VELOCITY’s chief
editor, David Maloney, at dmaloney@dcvelocity.com.
