Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine, an international B2B publication that provides mission-critical editorial to address the issues and challenges of the supply chain, recently announced Decideware Director of Business Development, Steve Wales as one of the 2013 "Pros to Know."
"The efforts that a number of the industry's leading executives continue to take to improve their business's functionality and in turn, progress the global supply chain this was one of the main reasons we started the 'Pros to Know' awards in the first place," confirmed Barry Hochfelder, Editor, Supply a Demand Chain Executive.
Honoring the supply chain's best and brightest, Supply & Demand Chain Executive's "Pros to Know" include professionals proactively working to improve their business's functions in a number of categories including manufacturing and production output; procurement; logistics; risk mitigation strategies; sourcing; financial operations; packaging and distribution; transportation; and much more.
Now in its 13th year, the Supply & Demand Chain Executive "Pros to Know" awards recognize both ends of the supply chain. This includes honoring the "providers," which includes individuals from software firms, service providers, consultancies or academia who helped their supply chain clients or the supply chain community prepare to meet industry challenges. This also includes honoring the "practitioners," e.g., those supply chain executives who demonstrated leadership by managing risk in the supply chain; provided competitive advantage; and delivered value to the bottom line.
