INDIANAPOLIS (September 16, 2024) – enVista, a leading supply chain and enterprise solutions provider, today announces that Julie Cheney has been named a winner of the 2024 Women in Supply Chain Award. Food Logistics, the only publication exclusively dedicated to covering the movement of products through the global cold food supply chain, and Supply & Demand Chain Executive, the only publication addressing the entire global supply chain, both recognized her achievement.
As Vice President of Retail at enVista, Julie excels in guiding clients through comprehensive business transformations, leveraging her 25 years of experience in merchandising, inventory and product lifecycle management. Her strategic acumen and holistic approach to optimizing people, processes and technology have enabled her clients to significantly increase efficiency and profitability. Recently, Julie led the development of a transformative strategy for a $1B multi-brand apparel retailer.
“Having worked on all sides of the retail industry throughout my career, I find great joy and purpose in helping today’s retailers solve their complex business problems,” said Julie. “I have worked with many exceptionally talented women during my time in retail who have cultivated a drive in me to open doors and create a safe space that lifts and empowers women in the retail industry. It is an honor to receive this award, and I look forward to what all the winners of the award will continue to accomplish for the retail industry.”
“Every year, this award continues to amaze me. But this year especially, it’s all about the quality of the submissions. These women are doing remarkable things for their communities, organizations and teams and are paving the way for future young female leaders to be a part of an industry that’s making a difference,” says Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Co-Founder of the Women in Supply Chain Forum. “New this year, the award was broken down into Rising Stars, Trailblazers, DEI Pioneer and Workforce Innovator. From there, we named an overall winner per category and then four honorable mentions per category. This year’s applications were superb and made it next to impossible to just pick one winner. I’m so proud of these women and their achievements. We’re just getting started.”
“Women are reshaping the landscape of supply chain management with their unparalleled contributions, igniting growth and fostering innovation across the industry. Their presence not only enriches the workforce but also brings a myriad of perspectives essential for tackling intricate challenges and refining global operations. The Women in Supply Chain award stands as a beacon, celebrating and amplifying their remarkable achievements,” Sarah Barnes-Humphrey, founder of Let’s Talk Supply Chain podcast and Blended Pledge, both sponsors of the Women in Supply Chain award. “Congratulations to all the winners, everyone who was nominated and all those making an impact.
