CHICAGO – March 23, 2022 – GAINS, a leading provider of cloud-based solutions for optimizing supply chain performance, is proud to announce that Supply & Demand Chain Executive has named Bill Benton, GAINS’ Co-Founder, a 2023 Supply Chain Pro to Know. This award recognizes his outstanding supply chain leadership that improves inventory performance, delivers pragmatic ML/AI innovations, and inspires businesses to launch environmental initiatives that result in positive change.
As GAINS’ co-founder, Bill focuses on product strategy, customer relationships and value creation, sustainability initiatives, and empowering partnerships. Known for his expertise and hands-on engagement, Bill has helped supply chain executives define their organization’s roadmap for success for decades. GAINS’ customers collaborate with Bill to identify creative continuous supply chain planning strategies to drive rapid results in volatile times.
“This year’s list is filled with supply chain professionals whose achievements and success stories have helped move the needle in the supply chain. They promote safety, sustainability, and workforce development. They work toward helping heal the supply chain. They’re actually in the supply chain,” says Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Food Logistics. “We received close to 400 nominations this year, the highest number of nominations ever for this award. It’s proof that today’s supply chain professionals are doing great things for the supply chain. They embody what a true leader should be. And, without their initiatives, programs, and collaborative efforts, today’s supply chains would be in worse shape.”
