In May 2014, ThomasNet and ISM launched the “30 under 30” program to generate awareness among millennials (age 18-32) about the rewards of a supply chain career. The program spotlights those professionals whose initiative, collaboration, innovation, and/or leadership are impacting this sector. Those who were chosen have already demonstrated accomplishments far beyond their years of experience, according to Mark Holst-Knudsen, President of ThomasNet.

“Having exceptional people in supply chain positions is critical to the health and vitality of individual businesses, and the strength of our economy,” says Holst-Knudsen. “These rising stars are making significant contributions to their organizations every day—saving them millions of dollars while improving their performance,”
