Edition also examines supply chain risks that today’s pros may regret underestimating
The Olympics’ loss is supply chain’s gain. This is the conclusion
readers will come to after reading the exclusive interview with Annette
Clayton, CEO and President, Schneider Electric North America Operations
in the July 2016 issue of Supply Chain Navigator, released today
by Avnet,
Inc. (NYSE: AVT),
a leading global technology distributor.
In the issue, Clayton, who also remains Chief Supply Chain Officer for
Schneider’s global business, shares a number of personal and career
insights, including her reflection that with her highly competitive
nature, she might have “missed her calling” as an Olympic athlete.
Fortunately for her colleagues, peers and the profession itself, Clayton
channeled all that energy and determination into her various roles
throughout her career, and is, today, among the most well-known and
respected figures in the global supply chain. Under her leadership,
Schneider Electric has been honored by SCM World for its
“breakthrough” supply chain talent management strategy; the French
Ministry for the Economy, Industrial Renewal and Digital Affairs
recognized the company with its “Responsible Supplier Relations” label;
and Clayton personally received the “Legendary Leadership” award from
AWESOME (Achieving Women's Excellence in Supply Chain Operations,
Management, and Education).
“We had the opportunity to talk with Annette about Schneider’s supply
chain approach just days before her promotion,” said Wade McDaniel, vice
president of Supply Chain Solutions, Avnet Velocity and publisher of Supply
Chain Navigator. “We are extremely appreciative of the time she
spent with us and the candor with which she discussed a range of
subjects, including talent management, CSR, segmentation, IOT, and our
feature topic, supply chain risk.”
