Research by Isil Erel, the David A.

The rise of women in supply chain and logistics

Terry Esper, associate professor of logistics at Fisher, says mentorship and continuous learning can help shrink the gender gap in logistics: “Young women should actively seek out mentors, and the earlier in their career, the better.
