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. This approach – alongside leaders such as
Zully, Kristy, and Lesley – ensures our business remains
competitive while driving growth and positive change within the
