“To be recognized for the third year in a row by Food Logistics as a “Rock Star of the Supply Chain” is an honor and humbling,” said Dombroski. “Food Logistics is the go-to publication for advice and thought leadership for many manufacturers of food and beverage products, as well as for suppliers, distributors and everyone involved in the food industry. The study of the supply chain, particularly in the area of consumer packaged goods, has always been an interest and passion of mine. In my role at QAD, I have the privilege to help companies improve their supply chain practices and overall business strategy with our world-class processes and solutions. These are unprecedented times and we are facing disruptions never seen before. For food and beverage manufacturers to succeed and, more importantly, to ensure the world's food supply continues to flow smoothly, an effective, agile and adaptive supply chain management is essential.”
Dombroski has spent most of his 30-year career helping manufacturing companies optimize their operations, balance their supply chains and implement processes, procedures and solutions. He has worked in several manufacturing industries, but his primary focus has been in the food and beverage and consumer products industries. He has extensive experience in supply chain and operations planning, and is frequently consulted by manufacturing leaders for his opinions and advice.
“These professionals are making waves in an industry upended by the global pandemic. Whether it’s pivoting into a different channel or implementing emerging technologies, these supply chain leaders prove that hard work pays off,” said Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive Editor-in-Chief Marina Mayer. “These winners collaborated, optimized, developed, educated and played a critical role in the survival and success of their companies amid a global pandemic.
