THE RAINMAKERS

For our 2019 Rainmakers, success isn’t
just about fame and fortune. It’s
about making a contribution to
the logistics field and advancing
the profession.
Some measure success by salaries and titles. Othersuseadifferentyardstickaltogether. Take the eight professionals selected as our 2019
Rainmakers, for example. When asked about their
proudest professional accomplishments, several cited
the satisfaction of seeing protégés go on to achieve
greater glory, while another described her work
supporting humanitarian relief efforts as “the best
job in the world.” Yet another spoke with evident
gratification of being thanked by strangers for helping them learn something new about supply chain
management.
So who are these Rainmakers and how were they
chosen? As in the past, DC VELOCITY selected the
2019 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 association executives to port
officials, consultants, and academics. 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 2020
Rainmakers report, please send your suggestions to
DC VELOCITY’s editorial director, David Maloney, at
