CHICAGO, Sept. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Echo Global
Logistics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ECHO), a leading provider of
technology-enabled transportation management services, announced
today that Echo's Regional Vice President Molly Mangan won a 2021 Women in Supply Chain
award from Supply & Demand Chain
Executive, the only publication covering the entire
global supply chain. The Women in Supply Chain award honors female
supply chain leaders and executives whose accomplishments,
mentorship and examples set a foundation for women in all levels of
a company's supply chain network.
Mangan has been with Echo for 11 years and currently serves as
Regional Vice President of Sales and Operations for the West Coast,
where she leads initiatives to drive operational improvement and
alignment across business units. During the pandemic, Mangan has
worked closely with Echo colleagues to analyze networks and
recommend ways to eliminate supply chain bottlenecks to improve
clients' logistics performance. Passionate about diversity, Mangan
serves as the Executive Sponsor of Women at Echo, connecting women
with opportunities through mentorship and skills development.
"We're incredibly proud that Molly was recognized by Supply
& Demand Chain Executive as a Women in Supply Chain award
winner," said Doug Waggoner,
Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer at
Echo. "Transportation and logistics has traditionally been a
male-dominated industry, but talented women like Molly are
beginning to add much needed diversity to the field. We're honored
to have a colleague with her experience and limitless potential on
the Echo leadership team."
According to Supply & Demand Chain Executive, this
year's Women in Supply Chain award winners list includes
individuals from software and service providers, consultancies and
academia, trucking and transportation firms, professional
development agencies, sourcing and procurement divisions, and more,
all who have helped supply chain clients and the supply chain
community at large prepare to meet many of today's — and tomorrow's
— challenges.
"Women bring a unique perspective to the supply chain, which is
integral to business operations, so I'm grateful to receive an
award that recognizes women's achievements," Mangan said. "I'm
thankful for the opportunity to build my career at Echo, which
excels in promoting women to leadership roles and championing
diversity overall. As an organization, Echo recognizes the value
women deliver in every facet of operations, and that increases the
value of the service we provide to our clients."
"These women are absolutely amazing in so many ways," says
Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief
of Supply & Demand Chain
Executive and Food Logistics. They've
re-tooled, re-innovated and revamped how the world sees the supply
chain and logistics industry. They've paved the way for future
female supply chain leaders to become a part of an industry that
matters. Because women in the supply chain matter. I'm honored to
recognize and celebrate the achievements of so many female supply
chain leaders."
