Women in Logistics: The women moving freight
Executives, drivers and mariners, sorted by the part of the supply chain they run.
I’d start with Anne Reinke on leading IANA, Janet Labuda on what importing really takes, and the women shaping supply chain through AI and innovation. These are the people doing the work, not just talking about it. I’ve collected our conversations with women across freight below, so you can follow the career stories or jump to your own corner of the industry.
