I would like to express our heartfelt condolences to the victims of the earthquake and tsunami that struck the northeast area of Japan on March 11, 2011. We sincerely hope for the fastest possible recovery to everyone in the regions affected by the disaster. Japan, we are thinking about you and you are in our thoughts.
Tragedies such as the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the earthquake in Chile a year ago, the recent temblor in New Zealand, and the volcano in Iceland have a profound effect on supply chain. These are situations when you need and appreciate leadership that can work under extremely stressful and fluid situations. Leadership must be at the helm and have the ability to make decisions and respond to uncertainties that will test all the systems and procedures.
We are proud that we have presented you with individuals that can lead and react during extreme crisis situations. We have showcased the best of the best in the last year and I urge you to learn from them as they are the people that make our industry what it is.
Over the past year we have had the privilege of interviewing supply chain executives from varying industries each month. In case you've missed any past issues, you can find them at: http://www.gscreview.com/home_com.php. For this issue, we decided to compile the last twelve profiles for your enjoyment and hope you have will find these professionals as impressive as I do.
We will do our best to keep searching globally for those leaders that deserve to be singled out. I ask you to send me the names of those you would like to be profiled so we can learn from their views and accomplishments.
We celebrate supply chain leaders with vision, passion, and care for their customers and employees. These leaders provide the value shareholders' deserve; they ensure that their customers keep moving forward while dealing with global challenges affecting the day-to-day operations. If we recognize great performance and leadership potential, we will promote our capacity to lead both operationally as well as at the C-level. As senior-level supply chain leaders, the senior executives featured in our magazine should be recognized by their peers and by the industry. We hope to see them grow and become the future CEOs that we all deserve and admire.
We hope you have enjoyed the magazine this past year, and look forward to providing you with additional interviews and interesting articles in 2011.
