This award honors female supply chain leaders and executives whose accomplishments, mentorship, and examples set a foundation for women at all levels of a company’s supply chain network.

Logility, an Aptean company and a leader in AI-first supply chain management software, is proud to announce Lachelle Buchanan, Vice President of Product Marketing, has been named one of the winners of this year’s Women in Supply Chain Award by Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive.

The Women in Supply Chain Award honors female supply chain leaders whose vision, innovation, and commitment are shaping the future of the industry. Buchanan was recognized in the Workforce Innovator category for her dedication to building a stronger, smarter, and more inclusive supply chain workforce.

“In correlation with the theme of this year’s Women in Supply Chain Forum, these female logistics leaders are rising up; they’re strengthening leadership pipelines, enforcing a people-first leadership approach, spearheading new product introductions, and transforming the way the industry views women in supply chain. I couldn’t be more proud of this year’s winners,” says Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Co-Founder of the Women in Supply Chain Forum.

With more than 18 years of experience spanning product marketing, integrated business planning, and end-to-end supply chain strategy, Buchanan has established herself as a transformative force in the industry. At Logility, she leads global product marketing efforts, bridging technology and strategy, to help enterprises maximize the value of their supply chain investments.

Buchanan’s leadership goes beyond strategy and technology - she is deeply committed to developing talent and empowering teams. Throughout her career, she has launched cross-functional training programs, led workforce capability-building initiatives, and championed inclusive leadership that ensures future-ready supply chain organizations. Her work has driven measurable outcomes, including multi-million-dollar business impacts, inventory reductions, and the cultivation of digitally fluent, agile teams.

“Lachelle’s recognition as a Women in Supply Chain honoree is a proud moment for Logility,” said Allan Dow, EVP/ General Manager of Aptean Supply Chain “Her leadership, vision, and relentless commitment to empowering people reflects the very best of our industry. She not only advances supply chain innovation but also creates opportunities for others to grow, thrive, and lead.”

When asked what advice she shares with the next generation of supply chain leaders, Buchanan emphasizes: “Don’t wait for permission to lead - lean in, ask questions, and challenge the process. The supply chain world needs your perspective, your voice, and your ability to see what others don’t see.”

The Women in Supply Chain Award underscores Buchanan’s impact as a champion of workforce development and inclusion, as well as her ability to drive meaningful innovation in one of the world’s most vital industries.
