New Edition of Supply Chain Navigator Features Q&A with Schneider Electric North America CEO
Annette Clayton
Edition also examines supply chain risks that today’s pros may regret underestimating
The Olympics’ loss is supply chain’s gain. This is the conclusion readers will come to after reading the exclusive interview
with Annette Clayton, CEO and President, Schneider Electric North America Operations in the July 2016 issue of Supply Chain
Navigator, released today by Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT), a leading global technology distributor.
In the issue, Clayton, who also remains Chief Supply Chain Officer for Schneider’s global business, shares a number of personal
and career insights, including her reflection that with her highly competitive nature, she might have “missed her calling” as an
Olympic athlete. Fortunately for her colleagues, peers and the profession itself, Clayton channeled all that energy and
determination into her various roles throughout her career, and is, today, among the most well-known and respected figures in the
global supply chain. Under her leadership, Schneider Electric has been honored by SCM World for its “breakthrough” supply
chain talent management strategy; the French Ministry for the Economy, Industrial Renewal and Digital Affairs recognized the
company with its “Responsible Supplier Relations” label; and Clayton personally received the “Legendary Leadership” award from
AWESOME (Achieving Women's Excellence in Supply Chain Operations, Management, and Education).
“We had the opportunity to talk with Annette about Schneider’s supply chain approach just days before her promotion,” said Wade
McDaniel, vice president of Supply Chain Solutions, Avnet Velocity and publisher of Supply Chain Navigator. “We are
extremely appreciative of the time she spent with us and the candor with which she discussed a range of subjects, including talent
management, CSR, segmentation, IOT, and our feature topic, supply chain risk.”
