Alcott Global Reveals Top 30 Supply Chain Leaders of 2025

The 2025 Leaders in Supply Chain Awards, organized by executive search firm Alcott Global, honor executives who are transforming global supply chains through innovation, leadership, and resilience. This edition’s theme, ‘Pushing Excellence, Inspiring the Future’, is anchored by the lighthouse: steadfast, guiding, and unafraid to shine in the storm of uncertainty.
