THE RAINMAKERS
thoughtleaders
For our 2018 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 2018 Rainmakers, for example. When asked about their proudest
professional accomplishments, one cited the satisfaction
of watching protégés go on to achieve greater glory,
while others pointed to the teams they’ve built and
led. “Nothing is more rewarding than making a
difference in someone’s life by helping them
develop their skills and realize their potential,” wrote one honoree.
So who are these Rainmakers and how were
they chosen? As in the past, DC VELOCITY
selected the 2018 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 analysts to consultants
to technology 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 2019
Rainmakers report, please send your suggestions to DC VELOCITY’s editorial director, David Maloney, at
dmaloney@dcvelocity.com.
