This award honors female supply chain leaders and executives whose accomplishments, mentorship, and examples set a foundation for women in all levels of a company's supply chain network.
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- TEKLYNX International, known for reliable barcode labeling software solutions and helping companies barcode better with their excellent customer support, today announced Jenna Wagner, TEKLYNX Global Marketing Director, was named one of the winners of the 2023 Women in Supply Chain Award by Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive for a fourth consecutive year.
The 2023 Women in Supply Chain Award honors female supply chain leaders and executives whose accomplishments, mentorship, and examples set a foundation for women at all levels of a company's supply chain network.
"I'm so grateful to be included in this list of amazing women in the supply chain and passionate about inspiring other women to find their voice and confidence as leaders as well," says Jenna Wagner, Global Marketing Director at TEKLYNX. "Thank you to Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive for continuing to highlight women's work and our contributions across the supply chain."
"This year, we received over 400 submissions, the highest amount of applications not only for this award, but also for all of our awards. What's more, 118 of those applications were submitted by male counterparts, nominating their boss, co-worker, or associate. Last year, that figure was just at 75. Also, this year, 39 women self-nominated, a tremendous uptick from last year's award, which just saw 12 self-nominations. This shows progress. This shows hope that one day, we won't need an award like this because men and women in the supply chain will be equal," says Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "While there's still more work to be done, what we're doing is working. From truck drivers to CEOs, what these winners are doing matters to the future of all supply chains."
Jenna continuously works to spark innovation and improvements in barcode labeling solutions throughout the supply chain by providing her leadership and perspective on the TEKLYNX Product Steering Committee and industry associations. Over the last year, Jenna fostered numerous strategic partnerships with other technology providers and worked to educate the market on combined barcode labeling solutions to streamline operations and minimize waste. Jenna's leadership in identifying customer needs also helped drive TEKLYNX Americas to launch an eCommerce storefront to give customers another way to select and buy barcode label design software online 24/7.
"Women have been making a significant impact in supply chain management, contributing to the growth and innovation of the supply chain industry. As more women join the supply chain workforce, they bring diverse perspectives that can help address complex supply chain problems and improve global supply chain operations. It is important that we empower, recognize, and elevate these achievements through initiatives like the Women in Supply Chain Award, as seen through the overwhelming response. Congratulations to all the winners, those who nominated others and the bravery of those who nominated themselves," adds Sarah Barnes-Humphrey, founder of Let's Talk Supply Chain podcast and Blended Pledge project, both exclusive sponsors of the Women in Supply Chain Award.
