This year’s Women in Supply Chain award recipients from Ryder include:

  • Zully Jimenez in the “Rising Star” category, which recognizes young or newer professionals whose achievements, hard work, and vision have shaped the supply chain network. As inventory supervisor at Ryder, Zully demonstrates an unwavering commitment to excellence and continuous growth. Her achievements include successfully leading complex customer accounts, maintaining high inventory accuracy during the pandemic, and significantly improving safety standards at various Ryder facilities. Zully’s compassionate leadership, self-taught bilingual communication skills, and ability to train and inspire her teams make her a standout leader among colleagues and customers.
  • Kristy Killingbeck in the “Trailblazers” category, which honors female leaders who continue to pave the way for future females in logistics. As vice president of supply chain operations, Kristy’s innovative problem-solving and dedication to mentoring rising talent have significantly contributed to Ryder’s success. With more than 25 years of experience, 19 of which have been spent at Ryder, and spanning multiple industry verticals, Kristy is instrumental in expanding Ryder’s consumer packaged goods transportation management portfolio including 14 new distribution centers. Kristy’s leadership extends beyond her professional role, as she founded and oversees the non-profit Sophia’s Rainbow to support pediatric patients and their families.
  • Lesley Kerr in the “Workforce Innovator” category, which pays tribute to female leaders whose efforts in supply chain education and workforce development help build a better workforce. As vice president of human resources, Lesley’s exceptional leadership can be seen in her dedication to employee engagement and development for Ryder’s front-line employees, drivers, technicians, and warehouse personnel. Her innovative and inclusive approach led to the successful launch of the Future Leaders Program, which has significantly advanced career growth and diversity across supervisory and managerial positions at Ryder. Now in her 24th year with Ryder, Lesley continues to lead initiatives for several integrated strategic acquisitions, focusing on building a strong leadership bench with various development and management trainee programs across the business.

“We are incredibly proud to see Zully, Kristy, and Lesley recognized for their contributions to the advancement of women in the industry and at Ryder. Their fearless leadership and dedication have not only benefited our employees and customers but have also set a powerful example for future generations of women in supply chain,” says Diana Anderson, vice president of talent management and human resources at Ryder. “By continually investing in talent development at Ryder, we are fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce that brings fresh ideas and innovative solutions for today’s challenges.
