SCMAP launches Supply Chain Leaders’ Advisory Council

SCMAP has unveiled the Supply Chain Leaders’ Advisory Council, a group of esteemed industry veterans who bring their expertise and knowledge to the organization in its endeavors to further move the global competitiveness of the industry.

The council seeks to bring together insights on issues and developments affecting supply chains in the Philippines and across the world, stemming from their deep experience managing supply chains across various sectors. They will provide advice to the SCMAP Board of Directors as it crafts recommendations to stakeholders, as well as in the development of the organization’s events and initiatives. They will also represent SCMAP in various engagements with stakeholders in the government, private sector and the academe, including as resource persons or speakers. The council is also exploring providing professional coaching and consultancy services for interested parties.

The council is formed of past SCMAP presidents and directors who are deemed to have made a strong contribution to the industry. These members are invited by the SCMAP Board of Directors.
