Supply chains are increasingly dependent upon digital tools, data, and automation. And yet, for all that progress, it is still people who ultimately make global supply chains work and ensure that progress continues to be made from one generation of professionals to the next.

Stela Jaqueta is a podcast host, procurement professional, and supply chain enthusiast who is passionate about being an advocate for the development of African supply chains. Karen Pretorius is the Founder, Owner, and Executive Consultant of KPI Cubed Supply Chain Consulting and Training, where she applies her 20 years of industry experience.

In this session, part of the Supply Chain Leadership Across Africa series, Stela and Karen join hosts Scott Luton and Jenny Froome, Chief Operating Officer at SAPICS, to discuss:

• Why they support the supply chain community in different forms and what they have learned from their experience

• Where they find the inspiration for their continued work in supply chain

• How they feel about the role of mentorship in professional development
