The ideal candidate for a career in supply chain today must possess a mastery of numbers as well as the ability to communicate with people both in and outside the organization, says Matthew Liotine, professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
During the 2018 edition of the North American Supply Chain Executive Summit, Executive Platforms was proud to partner with SupplyChainBrain to conduct a number of onsite interviews between our speaker faculty and SupplyChainBrain’s Managing Editor Robert Bowman.
