Misty Sobanski Named Recipient of the 2023 Women in Supply Chain Award
18 September 2023 - 11:00PM
IntelliTrans, a leader in global multimodal solutions for
optimizing supply chain operations for bulk and break-bulk
industries, announces that Misty Sobanski, Engagement Manager at
IntelliTrans, is one of the winners of this year’s Women in
Supply Chain Award from Food Logistics and Supply & Demand
Chain Executive magazines. This award honors female supply chain
leaders and executives whose accomplishments, mentorship and
examples set a foundation for women in all levels of a company’s
supply chain network. Misty was chosen for her work for one of
IntelliTran's biggest clients, a large, global CPG producer,
helping the business save millions in freight bills by better
auditing that eliminated late fees.
“I am so honored for being recognized for the work I have been
doing to help save my client millions in their transport
operations,” says Misty Sobanski, Engagement Manager at
IntelliTrans. “Receiving the Women in the Supply Chain Award is a
testament to the hard work of my team and the strength of our
transportation solutions and services.”
“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.”
"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 the Let's Talk Supply Chain podcast and Blended Pledge
project, both exclusive sponsors of the Women in Supply Chain
award.
As the Engagement Manager, Misty is responsible for building and
maintaining customer relationships on-site at a Global Fortune 500
customer, overseeing the execution and delivery of SaaS-based
technology and service offerings, which include but are not limited
to bulk transportation procurement, shipment execution, driving
problem resolution, freight invoice auditing, leading process
improvements and delivering value by optimizing the customer's
transportation and supply chain network by leveraging company
technology and maximizing employee utilization. Misty looked at the
raw materials the company was shipping and found opportunities of
$8M last year where they could save money. Per the
client's contract with IntelliTrans, IntelliTrans is only required
to find $4.5M of savings – so Misty went above and beyond the
contract.
Another example of what she does for the client is using load
optimization software and a dashboard to see how much the client
fills their tankers with raw materials. For some commodities, the
client was only filling them to 80%. She suggested they fill them
to at least 90%, which created savings of over
$2M.
