At our New York AccessAWESOME event, AWESOME CEO Michelle Dilley sat down with Sheri Hinish, the “Supply Chain Queen,” for an energizing and thought-provoking conversation about what it means to lead in today’s complex environment. Sheri brought her trademark mix of insight, candor, and energy — sharing real-life examples and lessons from her work with global leaders.
Together, they explored how leadership is evolving in a time of rapid change — where empathy, adaptability, and authenticity are proving essential. The discussion centered on how women leaders are navigating competing priorities: driving performance while building teams that are human-centered and resilient.
They also tackled one of the biggest questions of our time — how to make business decisions that serve both the planet and the bottom line. Sheri and Michelle discussed the importance of embedding sustainability into strategy and creating systems that value long-term progress over short-term gain.
AWESOME women in the room connected with Sheri on both a personal and professional level, inspired by her real-world perspective on leading authentically, balancing purpose with performance, and driving sustainable progress that benefits both business and the planet.
