Over the last two years, everyone has learned a lot about supply chain operations, complexity, and leadership. It has been as easy to spot exceptional leaders as it has been to see leadership vacuums. Good leaders managed to keep their operations rolling and hit their performance targets despite the challenges, but great leaders did all that while still supporting their teams and building a pathway to an uncharted future.Ramona Hood is the President & CEO of FedEx Custom Critical, the part of the FedEx family of companies that specializes in providing services such as expedited ground services, temperature control, and increased security. She is also the first black CEO in the history of FedEx, a distinction that she believes is as much about creating opportunities for those who are on their way up through the ranks as it is a success for her personally.In this classic Supply Chain Now episode, Ramona shares her personal journey and leadership philosophy with co-hosts Kelly Barner and Scott Luton:• What it was like to watch her team rise to the challenge of COVID-19 and then play an active role in the distribution of vaccines• The drive and intentionality that are crucial for every individual that wants to set themselves up for personal and professional success• How she serves as a role model for not just her team, but also her daughters, who have had the opportunity to witness her hard work and dedication firsthandAdditional Links & Resources:Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.comCheck out our new Supply Chain Now Media Kit: https://bit.ly/3zKRLyLSubscribe to Supply Chain Now and all other Supply Chain Now programs: https://supplychainnow.com/subscribeLeveraging Logistics and Supply Chain for Ukraine: https://vectorgl.com/stand-with-ukraine/2022 Q2 U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index: https://freight.usbank.comWEBINAR- Undermanaged Spend Categories: How GPOs Can Help Mitigate Your Risks: https://bit.ly/3SM5WeKThis episode is hosted by Scott Luton and Kelly Barner.

Procurement never makes the news, but when we do, we don’t hold anything back. Case in point: a viral video featuring (former) Apple Vice President of Procurement Tony Blevins. He recently made headlines for all the wrong reasons.The question is whether he was truly fired for what he said in that viral TikTok or whether it was an opportunity for the company to distance themselves for his ‘old school’ approach to procurement, carried out in grand style over the last 22 years.In this Dial P crossover episode, Kelly Barner preserves the professional story of Tony Blevins before it is all pulled down off the Internet and considers:• What we know about his role at Apple over the last two decades• The real rationale behind his sudden and dramatic departure• What this story tells us about Apple and their procurement function: past, present, and future…Additional Links & Resources:Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.comCheck out our new Supply Chain Now Media Kit: https://bit.ly/3zKRLyLSubscribe to Supply Chain Now and all other Supply Chain Now programs: https://supplychainnow.com/subscribeLeveraging Logistics and Supply Chain for Ukraine: https://vectorgl.com/stand-with-ukraine/2022 Q2 U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index: https://freight.usbank.comWEBINAR- A New Paradigm Of Resilience: Protect Against The Next Supply Chain Crisis: https://bit.ly/3KSYdJgWEBINAR- Undermanaged Spend Categories: How GPOs Can Help Mitigate Your Risks: https://bit.ly/3SM5WeKThis episode is hosted by Kelly Barner.
