Mercedes Pina, VP, client services and expedited pricing for STG Logistics, was named one of Food Logistics' and Supply & Demand Chain Executive's 2024 Women in Supply Chain award winners in the Rising Stars category.
To Pina, failure is just a stepping stone to success.
Her journey from a young immigrant in Long Island, N.Y., to her current role as VP, client services and expedited pricing at just 33 years old is indicative of how anything is possible with a positive mindset.
Pina sat down with Sarah Barnes-Humphrey, founder of Let's Talk Supply Chain podcast and Blended Pledge program, both presenting sponsors of the Women in Supply Chain award, to talk the challenges of pricing and inflation, how to bridge the women in supply chain gap and why mentoring is crucial.
