Leadership Perspective

“Over the last few years, supply chain has shifted from being a behind-the-scenes operational function to becoming a regular headline in mainstream media,” said Jorge Morales, ISCEA Global COO. “Today, its importance is clear not only to industry professionals, but also to policymakers, investors, and consumers who might not have had supply chain on their radar just a few years ago.

“We are operating during a period of significant geopolitical and technological shifts, as well as global network reconfiguration. In this environment, resilient, sustainable, and digitally enabled supply chains are no longer optional — they are strategic imperatives,” mentioned Eric C. Jones Sr., President of the ISCEA International Standards Board. “The leaders and organizations recognized tonight exemplify the kind of forward-thinking excellence our profession needs as we navigate this new era.”

The ISCEA Prize Ceremony continues to serve as a global platform that recognizes excellence, innovation, and leadership in supply chain management at a time when resilience, sustainability, and transformation are redefining global commerce.
