Supply & Demand Chain Executive named Brett Lankford, Director of Strategy at Fetch Freight, as one of the winners of this year’s Pros to Know award, which recognizes outstanding executives whose accomplishments offer a roadmap for other leaders looking to leverage supply chain for competitive advantage. This recognition is for the Rising Stars category.
“Many of today’s supply chain pros are more than just leaders within their space; they’re innovators, decision makers, pioneers of change and growth. They’ve spent the last year (and more) creating safer, more efficient supply chains,” says Marina Mayer, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive.
With experience in operations at major freight brokerages, Lankford leveraged his expertise as transportation manager at Conagra Brands, then served at Campbell’s Soup Company as the corporate transportation manager and business process lead, guiding Campbell’s transportation strategy through the challenges of COVID. Brett then accepted the role of Director of Strategy & Innovation at Fetch Freight.
Lankford has been pivotal in developing Fetch IQ, an exclusive AI-driven TMS, designed to optimize cost-efficient solutions for shipping customers.
Recipients of this year’s award will be profiled in Supply & Demand Chain Executive’s March 2024 issue.
