Logility President Allan Dow and VP Business Development, Diane Ngabire named Supply & Demand Chain Executive 2024 Pros to Know

By: via Business Wire

Dow and Ngabire have committed their time and talents to positively influence the supply chain profession.

Logility, Inc., the leader in AI-first supply chain planning software, announced Logility employees, VP of Business Development, Diane Ngabire and President, Allan Dow, were named as winners of this year’s Pros to Know award. This award recognizes outstanding executives whose accomplishments offer a roadmap for other supply chain leaders looking for competitive advantages.

Diane Ngabire, Logility, Rising Star

Named within the Rising Star category, Ngabire has learned to adapt quickly to the changing workforce in the industry through her diverse experiences. Having been through eight mergers and acquisitions during her career, she has had to integrate teams, restructure workflows, and assess her business development plans to support the change in business structure. She also ensures that those around her are successful by sharing her expertise with them and removing roadblocks for her team. It is her drive and passion to lift her team and provide them with the right tools that continues to promote business development success wherever she goes.

“The opportunity to build and nurture teams that positively impact the supply chain industry and help grow the business has been incremental to my success. I am inspired and influenced daily by the experts around me and seeing my team meet and exceed their goals,” says Ngabire. “I am humbled to be named among these other great Pros to Know.”

Ngabire is a Pro to Know not only for her supply chain expertise but for her commitment to building a better world. Ngabire is the cofounder of Code4dev Foundation, a non-profit organization that promotes computer literacy, inspires innovation, and bridges the digital divide by providing computers and supply chain education to students in Burundi, Africa. They aim to change the future of young entrepreneurs, early-career professionals, and school students in Burundi by providing access to technology, educational resources, and training programs that empower individuals to thrive in the digital era.

"Many of today's supply chain pros are more than just leaders within their space; they're innovators, decision makers, pioneers of change and growth. They've spent the last year (and more) creating safer, more efficient supply chains," says Marina Mayer, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive.

Allan Dow, Logility, Lifetime Achievement

Dow, a repeat Pros to Know award recipient, and Lifetime Achievement category winner is focused on educating the investment community, industry stakeholders, prospective and existing Logility clients on the power of artificial intelligence throughout their supply chain. Dow has also been helping the industry embrace how artificial intelligence is changing the role of planners and analysts. These valuable supply chain experts will not be replaced by AI but have roles augmented by systems that learn and recommend; and will engage with new team members who understand how to embrace and leverage AI.

Under Dow’s direction, Logility is focusing on putting transformational technology such as Generative AI into the hands of the supply chain community --- moving from buzzwords to decision intelligence, allowing organizations to respond faster, enrich business growth, and improve performance.

“This year, it's not about 'back to normal,' it's about leapfrogging 'normal' with AI-powered visibility and responsiveness. We're putting data-driven decision-making at the fingertips of everyone across an organization,” says Dow. “Our clients can take market insights and translate them into executable demand strategies creating a competitive advantage that lets them gain market share while managing through turbulent times.”

Ngabire, Dow, and the entire Logility team are committed to continuing to positively influence the supply chain industry.

Recipients of this year’s award will be profiled in Supply & Demand Chain Executive’s March 2024 issue, which will be distributed at MODEX 2024 and at www.SDCExec.com.
