This year’s list of winners entails females making a difference in the supply chain, and I’m honored to share their journeys.”With more than 13 years of experience in the industry, Schuemann has built her career helping organizations better understand and adopt technologies that improve warehouse and supply chain performance.

I’m honored to receive the Workforce Innovator award and proud of the work we are doing through EPG Academy to make complex technology approachable, practical, and relevant to the people who use it every day.”“Lindsay and Carina each play an incredibly important role in EPG’s growth and in our ability to support continued innovation across the supply chain,” said Jett Chitanand, President of EPG Americas. “Lindsay helps bring complex technologies and new ideas to the market in ways that resonate with supply chain leaders, while Carina ensures our teams and customers have the knowledge and confidence to put those technologies into practice.
