MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Ryder
System, Inc. (NYSE:R), a leader in commercial
fleet management, dedicated
transportation, and supply
chain solutions, announced today that Darcee Scavone, Ryder’s Vice
President and General Manager of Automotive, Aerospace & Industrial
Operations, was named among Supply & Demand Chain Executive
magazine’s 2016 “Pros to Know.” Through the Pros to Know Awards, Supply
& Demand Chain Executive – the executive’s user manual for
successful supply and demand chain transformation – recognizes supply
chain executives and manufacturing and non-manufacturing enterprises who
are leading initiatives to help prepare their companies’ supply chains
for the significant challenges of today’s business climate.
Ms. Scavone has vast experience in the automotive industry sector,
working with OEM’s and Tier 1 & Tier 2 suppliers. Her extensive
background working on the financial side of the business has given her
exposure to the end-to-end supply chain Total Cost of Ownership model,
understanding how each decision within the design of a network impacts
overall cost. In her previous role as VP and CFO for Supply Chain
Solutions at Ryder, Ms. Scavone’s experience spanned across numerous
supply chains – Consumer Packaged Goods, Technology and Healthcare, and
Retail – that have dynamic needs in dealing with consumer demand
changes, retail peak periods, and solutions that need to be prepared to
serve the end consumer.
“Darcee’s extensive background has enabled her to bring to her current
role a depth of knowledge, innovative solutions to solving customer
needs, and a collaborative approach to the customer experience,” said
Steve Sensing, President of Global Supply Chain Solutions, Ryder. “We
are thrilled that Darcee has been named a ‘Pro to Know’ and congratulate
her on being selected for the honor.”
This year’s list includes the 2016 Provider Pros to Know – individuals
from software firms and service providers, consultancies or academia,
who have helped their supply chain clients or the supply chain community
at large prepare to meet these challenges – and Practitioner Pros, who
do the same within their own companies. Supply & Demand Chain
Executive received more than 350 entries for the awards.
The full listing of the 2016 Pros to Know is available in the March 2015
