Jenna Wagner, TEKLYNX Global Marketing Director, Named Recipient of 2023 Women in Supply Chain Award

Leave a comment

[ad_1]

“I’m so grateful to be included in this list of amazing women in the supply chain and passionate about inspiring other women to find their voice and confidence as leaders as well,” says Jenna Wagner, Global Marketing Director at TEKLYNX. “Thank you to Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive for continuing to highlight women’s work and our contributions across the supply chain.”

“This year, we received over 400 submissions, the highest amount of applications not only for this award, but also for all of our awards. What’s more, 118 of those applications were submitted by male counterparts, nominating their boss, co-worker, or associate. Last year, that figure was just at 75. Also, this year, 39 women self-nominated, a tremendous uptick from last year’s award, which just saw 12 self-nominations. This shows progress. This shows hope that one day, we won’t need an award like this because men and women in the supply chain will be equal,” says Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “While there’s still more work to be done, what we’re doing is working. From truck drivers to CEOs, what these winners are doing matters to the future of all supply chains.”

Jenna continuously works to spark innovation and improvements in barcode labeling solutions throughout the supply chain by providing her leadership and perspective on the TEKLYNX Product Steering Committee and industry associations. Over the last year, Jenna fostered numerous strategic partnerships with other technology providers and worked to educate the market on combined barcode labeling solutions to streamline operations and minimize waste. Jenna’s leadership in identifying customer needs also helped drive TEKLYNX Americas to launch an eCommerce storefront to give customers another way to select and buy barcode label design software online 24/7.

“Women have been making a significant impact in supply chain management, contributing to the growth and innovation of the supply chain industry. As more women join the supply chain workforce, they bring diverse perspectives that can help address complex supply chain problems and improve global supply chain operations. It is important that we empower, recognize, and elevate these achievements through initiatives like the Women in Supply Chain Award, as seen through the overwhelming response. Congratulations to all the winners, those who nominated others and the bravery of those who nominated themselves,” adds Sarah Barnes-Humphrey, founder of Let’s Talk Supply Chain podcast and Blended Pledge project, both exclusive sponsors of the Women in Supply Chain Award.

Leave a comment

[ad_1]

Today’s management announcements include:

Alain Monroy, a U.S. Army Veteran, will serve as VBG’s new Director of Strategic Partnerships. He joins VBG from the Vegas Golden Knights (VGK), where he was the Director of Global Partnerships. Before VGK, Alain was an Associate Director of Corporate Partnerships at Year Up, a workforce development non-profit organization and previously a Vice President in Commercial Banking at JPMorgan Chase. Alain brings more than a decade of experience in developing strategic cross-sector partnerships. In addition to his many years of experience in the private sector, Alain also served as a captain in the U.S. Army at various locations, including Fort Bragg (now Fort Liberty), North Carolina, Northern Afghanistan and Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. He is a graduate of the U.S. Army Airborne, Air Assault and Ranger Schools and earned a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A) from the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University and a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Political Science and Military Science & Leadership from the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Alain will report directly to VBG’s Chief Marketing Officer, Lisa Kalkes, and lead the strategic development and optimization of brand strategies through partnerships and other endeavors. He will also be responsible for aligning VBG with other like-minded Veteran organizations that put Veterans first.

Juan Molina has joined VBG as the Director of Operations. He recently served as an Operations Support Manager at National Veterinary Associates (Ethos) and brings nearly a decade of experience in healthcare and operations. Juan comes from a U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force Veteran family and holds a Master’s in Health Administration from Pennsylvania State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Saint Louis University. He will report to VBG’s Chief Operating Officer, Donato Clay, and be responsible for managing VBG’s core operations, helping to ensure that VBG continues to meet and exceed its goals.

“We are thrilled to add Alain and Juan to the VBG team and to further tap Freddie, Jonathan and Preston’s combined expertise to help bolster several key areas of our organization,” said Josh Smith, CEO of Veteran Benefits Guide. “Their roles are foundational to the work we are doing to strengthen the company’s operations and Veteran-focused partnerships so that we can continue to provide best-in-class services in support of the Veteran community.”

VBG also announced the following promotions of high-performing employees:

Freddie DeYong has been promoted to Director of Business Operations. In this newly created role, he will help the organization set its goals, develop strategic plans, and manage production and business analytics. Prior to this promotion, Freddie served VBG as Director of Operations.

Jonathan Mills, a U.S. Army Veteran, has been promoted to Director of Training and Organizational Development. He will oversee VBG’s new hire product training, as well as its employee education, leadership development and health and wellness programming. Prior to this promotion, Jonathan served VBG as Manager of Training and Organizational Development.

Preston Ramirez has been promoted to Associate Director of Information Technology (IT). He will oversee the information technology of the organization, managing IT resources and improving processes to increase efficiencies for the company. Previously, Preston served VBG as Product Manager.

Headquartered in Las Vegas, with an additional office in San Diego, VBG’s workforce has grown to about 200 employees since the company was founded in 2015. VBG’s expertise has enabled the company to help 35,000 Veterans nationally receive an average increase in annual disability benefits of $13,000 — benefits they likely would not have received without VBG’s support.

About Veteran Benefits Guide

Veteran Benefits Guide (VBG) enables Veterans to receive the full disability benefits they have earned from their service in a timely manner. Since its founding in 2015, VBG has helped 35,000 Veterans to receive a combined increase of $5.5 billion in lifetime benefits. VBG’s trusted, national network of independent and credentialled medical service providers ensures that Veterans submit fully developed, accurate claims to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which avoids the need for appeals, speeds up the final benefits decision and reduces the VA case backlog. VBG is based in Las Vegas, Nevada and also has offices in San Diego, California. Learn more at vetbenefitsguide.com.
