Today on Supply Chain Pioneers: Lucy Pitcher, founder of the Supply Chain Women Network and supplychainwomen.com, who helps supply chain businesses grow through PR, visibility, and reputation.

Lucy explains she built the platform after seeing how hard it is for journalists, podcasters, and event organizers to find diverse voices despite many talented women in supply chain, and says it has evolved from a directory into a space for stories, advice, and upcoming resources like an events calendar.

They discuss why visibility matters now amid AI-driven change, how many people enter supply chain (including accidental paths and a Lego-inspired IBM leader), and what the industry can improve: visibility and role models, sponsorship over mentorship, better culture and flexibility, return-to-work support, and zero tolerance for harassment.

Lucy shares early launch metrics and how individuals and companies can get involved, and briefly outlines her Amplify commercial visibility program.
