Current SCMAP vice president Pierre Carlo Curay is returning as president of the organization effective today, 1 July.
Curay replaces Dennis Llovido, who officially retired from his position in Nestlé Philippines yesterday, 30 June. As per the organization’s by-laws, he could no longer serve as president of the organization as he no longer a representative of his member company.
Curay, who represents XVC Logistics, previously served as president from 2021-2022, and held various positions within the SCMAP Board of Directors prior. During his presidency, which was marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, he strengthened SCMAP’s commitment to nation-building and advocated for a greater role for the supply chain sector in developing the country.
He played a key role in the development of the Deliver-E platform, which addressed various food supply chain issues, with the help of the Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Agriculture, and USAID. He was also among the convenors of Pilipinas Kontra Gutom, a multi-sectoral movement aiming to reduce hunger and address food security, under the leadership of then Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles.
His time as SCMAP’s leader also saw it continue to gain prominence as the country’s premiere supply chain organization, strengthening linkages with stakeholders in the public and private sectors while also returning to in-person events in 2022.
Apart from his role in XVC Logistics, Curay is founder of InsightSCS, a logistics technology firm. He is also chair of the Supply Chain and Logistics Committee of the Philippines Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and is a sought-after speaker on supply chain and technology, both in the Philippines and abroad.
Llovido will remain active with SCMAP as a member of the Supply Chain Leaders’ Advisory Council, and will, among others, contribute to the development of the DTI’s Supply Chain and Logistics Center.
A decision on the new vacancy in the SCMAP Board of Directors will be announced in due course.
