Board.org, in tandem with Executive Platforms, has launched the Supply Chain Planning & Logistics Board, a membership organization exclusively for senior supply chain leaders at the world's largest companies.
Supply chains are increasingly complex, leaving leaders to navigate a constant stream of challenging decisions. This community was created to provide real solutions from those who know the issues best—enterprise supply chain peers.
"Having worked as a senior supply chain leader for over 40 years for three of the top global 100 companies (P&G, Kraft Foods, and Mondelēz International), I see a major need for a forum where leaders in similar supply chain roles meet and learn from each other," said Daniel Myers, former Executive VP of Global Supply Chain for Mondelēz International and current Senior Fellow at the University of Tennessee. "The planning and logistics leaders in all companies face a major need to develop a total new level of capability to meet their current and future business challenges."
Memberships offer planning and logistics executives a confidential, vendor-free space for peer-to-peer conversations. Members connect through timely calls on urgent issues, one-on-one connections with fellow leaders who have tackled similar challenges, and annual events for deeper, more in-depth discussions.
“I see firsthand how having these conversations in a confidential space enables our members to build meaningful connections, exchange solutions, and avoid costly missteps to drive success across their organizations,” said Cheryl Goldsby, Membership Director of the Supply Chain Planning & Logistics Board.
The Supply Chain Planning & Logistics Board is the fastest-growing supply chain group, already bringing together over 100 supply chain leaders from 40+ leading brands, including founding members 3M, Cummins, Ecolab, General Mills, Greif, HP, Inc., Ingredion, INX International, Kellanova, Kenvue, Kohler Kitchen & Bath, Levi Strauss & Company, Loblaw, Mars, Milo's Tea Company, Nissan North America, Peloton Interactive, Procter & Gamble, Shamrock Foods, SpartanNash, Stanley 1913, The Hershey Company, The Walt Disney Company, Tree Top, Viega LLC, Walgreens Boots Alliance, and Werfen.
"Sharing perspective with the world's supply chain leaders; the intrinsic value is beyond words," said Anthony De Francesco, Vice President of Integrated Supply Chain at INX International. "I truly enjoy participating with our field's best and brightest professionals—it is a real game changer."
The group will tackle ongoing challenges and emerging trends in logistics and planning, such as risk management, geopolitical instability, market volatility/macroeconomic issues, and more.
The Supply Chain Planning & Logistics Board is strictly limited to senior-level leaders and excludes vendors and consultants to ensure all discussions remain focused, strategic, and actionable.
