Women's contribution to supply chains highlighted at the Glucksman
Andrea Newport, Ingrid Hunt, Ciara O'Brien and Orla Rae at the 6th Women in Supply Chain event at the Glucksman Library UL last Friday.
 

The 6th Women in Supply Chain event took place last week at UL. Organised by Associate Professor Ingrid Hunt, the event highlights the career journeys of female professionals working in the area. 

It featured talks by invited speakers Andrea Newport, Senior Manager Supply Logistics with Regeneron, Ciara O'Brien, Technology Manager Neurovascular, J&J and Orla Rae, Senior Director Surgical Vision Supply Planning, J&J. 

 

Thanks to the three incredible speakers Ciara, Andrea and Orla who captured the attention of a full room, as we came together to "Celebrate women in supply chains" today.

Ciara O'Brien Orla Rae and Andrea Newport shared their experiences and spoke about their life journeys with such honesty. All three inspiring tales shared!  The incredible willingness of people who share their time and their experiences ensures these events are such a success.
  
Once again, the room was filled with people who continue to show up and support women working in #supplychains across our #industries. Several individuals took the time to travel across Ireland to attend this morning.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support and attend our events. We create these spaces so that individuals working in supply chains can #connect, #learn, and be inspired by one another.

Every career is a personal journey worth hearing.
