In the past few years, there have been more examples of Supply Chain professionals stepping not just into the C-suite, but into the coveted Chief Executive position itself.

Among the more prominent supply chain leaders who’ve made it to the top slot, we can count Tim Cook of Apple, Mary Barra of General Motors, and Brian Krzanich of Intel. More recently we’ve seen Fabian Garcia, formerly of Colgate Palmolive, tapped to take over at Revlon and John Hendrickson recently promoted to CEO of Perrigo.
