ARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 11, 2025 -- interos.ai, a global leader in AI-powered supply chain risk intelligence is proud to announce the launch of its inaugural Women in Supply Chain Awards. The new award program will recognize outstanding women driving innovation, leadership, and transformation in supply chain, risk management, and procurement.

"Diversity in leadership is incredibly important to us at interos.ai", said Yardley Pohl, Chief Product and Technology Officer at interos.ai. "We are proud to report that women comprise 52% of our senior leaders - VP and above - and 44% of our executive team. With this award, we are excited to champion the contributions of women in supply chain risk management. We aim to encourage women in leadership roles in every part of the procurement and risk management industry."
To celebrate and promote women in supply chain, nominations are now open through February 28, 2025, inviting industry leaders, peers, and colleagues to honor the trailblazing women shaping the future of global supply chains. Self-nominations are also encouraged.
The award categories include:
- Woman of the Year: Recognizing a woman who has demonstrated excellence in leadership, innovation, and impact within the supply chain risk management sector.
- Young Leader in Supply Chain: Honoring a woman under the age of 35 who is making a major mark in the industry through hard work, innovation, and strategic contributions.
Shortlisted nominees will be announced on International Women's Day (March 8, 2025), and winners will be recognized at a vibrant awards ceremony at the close of Women's History Month in March 2025. Candidates will be evaluated on contributions that have led to measurable and meaningful change on their team, their organization or the industry at large, particularly those that positively affect women's advancement in supply chain.
Additionally, the 2025 Woman of the Year will receive one year of interos.ai's supply chain risk intelligence software to donate to the charity or non-profit of her choice, reinforcing the commitment to fostering ethical, resilient, and secure supply chains worldwide.
