Leaders in Supply Chain Awards 2023

Alcott Global proudly commends excellence in the global Supply Chain sector as we mark the second edition of the Leaders in Supply Chain Gala Awards. This prestigious event spans over 5 months from the nominations until the virtual awards ceremony and brings together supply chain executives from all over the world.

Through this initiative, we recognize and celebrate the remarkable achievements of global supply chain leaders and their pivotal roles in digitizing operations, advancing decarbonization and sustainability, and fostering diverse and equitable environments within supply chain teams.

Surpassing the 2022 edition, this year we received nominations for 228 exceptional Supply Chain Leaders, representing 206 distinguished companies. Among these nominations, 45% originated from North America, and 35% from Europe, while the remaining 20% hailed from the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific regions.

The Top 30 Supply Chain Leaders ranking was determined by a rigorous evaluation process. The jury members reviewed case studies submitted by the nominees, and their evaluations contributed to 75% of the total score. The remaining 25% of the score was determined by votes from over 2000 executives who were invited to vote for leaders whose projects are known to them. The winners are leaders who drive positive changes in the supply chain industry beyond their teams and companies. This approach ensures impartiality in the evaluation process.

Submissions were thoroughly scrutinized, focusing on how the nominee had demonstrated leadership in achieving a more diverse and engaged workforce, tangible advancements through digital technologies, and notable strides in sustainability innovation. The evaluation encompassed a comprehensive assessment of end-to-end supply chain experiences, whether on a global or continental scale, within businesses boasting revenues of at least half a billion dollars. Additionally, the nominee’s influence on their company’s revenue growth during their tenure and commitment to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UN Global Compact were integral considerations.

Moreover, in a novel initiative this year, all Top 30 Leaders will delve deeper into their accomplishments by presenting detailed case studies focused on specific projects. This endeavor aims to provide invaluable insights to the broader supply chain community, fostering inspiration and catalyzing further innovations within their field.

“The supply chain industry thrives on incredible success stories from individuals and teams driving global operations. The Leaders in Supply Chain Awards recognizes and celebrates these inspiring leaders who ignite teams, leverage digital technologies, innovate sustainably, exhibit exceptional leadership, and achieve business excellence. I’m heartened to see numerous familiar names making a difference, and I’m excited to learn and share more about their contributions, through the case studies that will be revealed in the upcoming weeks,” says Radu Palamariu, Managing Director at Alcott Global.
