IBM Consulting Global Leader for Sustainability Services, Alliances and Strategy at IBM

Global Citizen, United States

Let’s connect! Colleagues and clients affectionately call me the “Supply Chain Queen.” I'm recognized as a 2020 & 2019 Supply & Demand Chain Executive "Pro to Know," an IBM Futurist, and a leading advocate/strategist/influencer that brands consistently leverage to connect their customers with trends in supply chain, retail, manufacturing, sustainability & the SDGs, leading with purpose, and change leadership in digital transformations. I have a flair for digital marketing and some of my 2020 clients include SAP, SAP Ariba, Celonis, Salesforce, UPS, and IBM. My focus is advisory and consulting, events, custom media, and thought leadership. Services can be found at supplychainqueen.com

Through the lens of purpose, process, technology, and human behavior, I help brands, executives, and STEM professionals explore new school supply chain, sustainability, innovation, design thinking, and leading transformation by:

1) providing strategy in leveraging new ways of thinking about generational, industrial, technological, social, and environmental shifts in the world we share

2) helping leaders design, guide, & inspire organizations with purpose through complex transformations, bridging workforce generations and embracing inclusivity

3) using leading practice to develop the right technology, supply chain and solution strategy in the adoption of next-generation ecosystem orchestration and stewardship.

I’m a STEMinist, SHE-E-O, a queen who is un-queenie, and a Rebel who loves bringing out the best in people. I've made a career simplifying the complex, rethinking supply chain strategy and the human experience. My vision is to change the world through shared purpose & sustainable supply chain, circularity, and building technology grounded in the principles of sustainable development. I'd love to help you on your journey.

Supply Chain Queen
January 04, 2021
Sheri Hinish was recently featured in a Thinkers360 article discussing omnichannel in a COVID world and how it's being redefined for modern B2B consumers.

As a tool for better understanding the linkages that exist and the evolving state-of-play, the Wharton Social Impact & Alumni Association has asked eight different sector and thematic experts to take five minutes to reflect on how, in their own work, gender is relevant to climate and the extent to which these sustainable development goals (SDGs) are incorporated or are being incorporated into that work.

SupplyChainQueen
November 12, 2020
Sheri Hinish was recently highlighted in a thought leadership piece evangelizing Procurement with Purpose.

Clearly, there are countless ways supply chain professionals can make the planet better, says Supply Chain Revolution CEO Sheri Hinish. “Supply chains are the conduit for building a better world; designing a better world,” Hinish says. “We can come from different backgrounds, different parts of the world but at our core, we fundamentally want the same things. So, it’s real and when you think about collaborating within a global context… this is what wakes me up every morning – to create a world that’s bearable, viable and equitable.”

SupplyChainQueen
October 27, 2020
Ordinary people working together, mobilized through purpose become extraordinary when they embrace that the things they can do are limitless. I see so many posts on Linkedin about the 'new normal' and I hope we never go back to the way things were, a linear world where taking, making, wasting was business-as-usual.

We need to be business unusual. We need to be supernormal. The linear economy is just not sustainable for our future - and the reality is that there’s a better way to make money and do good, solving some of these really complex problems.

Deadly fires raging on the west coast. The influx of hurricanes and once-in-a-lifetime weather events that seem to happen more frequently than ever before.

Exploring Social Sustainability & Sustainable Development and the Largest Global Platform that Bridges the Equity Gap in Entrepreneurship w/ Taylor Hebble (SoGal Foundation & Hope For Haiti)
Supply Chain Queen
September 21, 2020
Access to education, healthcare, clean water, and economic development opportunities remain key priorities for many countries. Entire populations and children are being left behind and marginalized through climate change, disruptions, and globalization. Addressing generational poverty and transformation can take decades. How might we learn from current success stories, work that can scale to other parts of the world in sustainable development? Great ideas and innovation are everywhere, but often access to funding, relationships, and networks present hurdles particularly for young, underrepresented (often female, black, and non-binary) people. How can we access to funding so great ideas can thrive?

The Future of Supply Chain with Sheri Hinish - Part 2 - Three Trends

September 15, 2020
The Future of Supply Chain - 3 timely trends In this episode with Rob O'Byrne, I explore 3 relevant trends in supply chain (e-commerce, sustainability, and supply chain -as-a-service). Also, more about the digital divide in the future of work...

E-commerce, digital supply chain, and business transformation - why? It’s estimated that there will be 2B+ global digital buyers in 2020, accounting for 15% of retail sales worldwide.
Sustainability is a priority for investors and why brands and manufacturers should care about extended producer responsibility
Small and medium businesses pivoting to Supply Chain as a Service (SCAS) ...do we have another another acronym to manage, oh no!?!

Check it out Its shorter than the 1st episode. What are your thoughts? I’m excited that SMBs can thrive by focusing on their customers, brand purpose, and product versus learning supply chain from scratch.

Exploring Digital Distribution & Additive Manufacturing, Industrial Sustainability, and the Future of Decentralized Supply Chains w/ Espen Sivertsen of Ivaldi (SAP.iO)
Apple Podcasts
October 19, 2020
The purpose of a supply chain is to move goods and services around the world to meet user demand. And over decades, we’ve built coupled-networks based on principles of regionalization or centralization of function, location, and cost efficiency. COVID is an example of the uncertainty supply chains face on a day-to-day basis derived from old-school thinking and design.

Imagine a world where supply chains are flipped upside down, a world where we send files, not parts? A world that empowers the end consumer to produce what is needed on-demand through cloud based technology, including recycling on site in a circular transition?

In Episode 41, CEO of Ivaldi (Espen Sivertsen) joins Sheri Hinish to talk about the future of digital supply chains, on-demand additive manufacturing and the business case for change, industrial sustainability, and the power of diversity in technology. Espen is part of the SAP.iO Foundry bootcamp and shares observations he’s gathered from Silicon Valley and beyond, that diversity fuels innovation. Segments Ivaldi serves include maritime, industrial, mining, energy (gas turbines and power plants), and automotive.

Let’s face it. Despite what many technologists think, most supply chains are not run on laptops. We know the promise that advanced supply chain technology holds…agility, velocity, scale, resilience, transparency, and better customer experience. Yet, when I talk to supply chain leaders, many have shiny object fatigue. Have we failed supply chain leaders and professionals by not adding tangible value for impact? Digital transformation isn’t just a thing that you can you can buy and plug into an organization or a switch you flip. It’s complicated and doesn’t just involve technology. Digital transformation is an ongoing process of changing the way you do business. It requires foundational investments in skills, projects, infrastructure, and, often, in cleaning up IT systems. It requires mixing people, machines, and business processes, with all of the messiness that entails

Stoked to join a fellow Rutgers Alumna March 17th, 2 p.m. EDT, as a guest on the Voice of Supply Chain Series (ISM-New Jersey) with Lisa Trinh of GSK. We are going to explore the power of building a professional brand for impact and career progression. This session is open to everyone and although I'm speaking through the lens of my journey as an under-represented women in supply chain, the observations, hard lessons, and tips can be applied broadly in supply chain no matter your gender, age, race, or functional role.
