WOODRIDGE, IL (September 16, 2024) – RJW Logistics Group (‘RJW’ or ‘the Company’), a leading provider of retail logistics solutions for consumer-packaged goods companies, announced today that Naysa Aparicio-Hernandez, Chief Human Resources Officer, and Jennifer Shorkey, EVP of Strategic Partnerships, have received the 2024 Women in Supply Chain Award from Supply & Demand Chain Executive. This prestigious award recognizes female supply chain leaders and executives whose accomplishments, mentorship and examples set a foundation for women in all levels across the supply chain network.
Aparicio-Hernandez has led RJW’s human resources initiatives for over seven years, during which time her significant contributions have supported substantial company growth from 300 employees to over 1,500 today. As RJW continues to expand its proven flexible, single-node model in the U.S. transportation hubs of Chicago and Dallas, Naysa will work closely with RJW’s leadership team to implement additional strategies that support sustainable growth. From a complete restructure of the HR department to embracing new technology and achieving profitable business operational goals, Naysa has played an integral role in fostering transparent and effective hiring practices to bring on the best-of-the-best in talent recruitment. Naysa’s leadership, dedication to creating an inclusive and professional culture, and her ongoing contributions to the HR community not only highlight her remarkable achievements within RJW but also position her as a trailblazer in the industry, inspiring the next generation of diverse leaders.
With a robust 23-year tenure at Walmart Inc., Shorkey has brought her vast knowledge and industry experience to RJW’s internal teams and supplier network to broaden the understanding and execution of supply chain compliance requirements. Her deep understanding of supply chain compliance has greatly enhanced the execution of complex requirements across both internal teams and the supplier network. As retailers increasingly focus on delivery times, packaging, labeling, and barcoding, Shorkey’s insights are crucial for navigating these demands. Her dedication to customer service and excellence is mirrored in her team of compliance experts, who consistently help RJW customers meet and exceed retailer expectations. Emphasizing the importance of “one-on-one contact”, Jennifer focuses on supporting and mentoring her team and educating the next generation of women looking to follow in her footsteps.
“Naysa and Jennifer’s outstanding leadership, innovative spirit and unwavering commitment to inclusivity and professional excellence have significantly advanced the supply chain industry and strengthened RJW’s ability to effectively service our customers and empower our team,” said Condy Dixon, COO. “This award recognizes their exceptional ability to adapt to changing customer demands and their dedication to driving progress. Working with them and witnessing their remarkable contributions to the future of supply chain leadership has been a true privilege.”
