 As fast as product moves through modern supply chains, the Global Supply Chain Leaders Group (GSCLG) celebrates another year of publication. In the past 12+ months, we have been delighted to give our readers interviews with distinguished individuals in the world of Supply Chain. This month’s edition is no exception.
As President of the GSCLG, I am extremely pleased to present this year's awards edition of the Global Supply Chain Review. John Figueroa, President of McKesson U.S. Pharmaceutical, has been selected as GSCLG’s Supply Chain Executive of the Decade.
John oversees McKesson U.S. Pharmaceutical’s business units’ operations and distribution of pharmaceuticals and other healthcare related products to customers in four primary segments: national and regional retail pharmacy chains, hospital providers, retail independent pharmacies, and mail pharmacy. John's extensive experience continues to further strengthen McKesson's operational excellence and leading market share position.
McKesson’s U.S. Pharmaceutical business generates more than $86 billion in annual revenue. As Senior Vice President, Customer Operations for the Southwest Region, John headed up the region's sales and operations management for its five pharmaceutical distribution centers. Prior to his current role, John Figueroa was responsible for McKesson's relationships with retail chains (food, drug, and mass merchandisers) and mail service customers, the largest and fastest growing segments for McKesson Pharmaceutical, representing more than $43 billion in annual revenue.
In our eyes, what makes John the Executive of the Decade is the fact that McKesson has, based upon the nominations received for this award, the best overall team in Supply Chain. This speaks to their efficiency, capacity, professionalism, passion, and purpose. McKesson sees amazing results, as direct result of John’s leadership. His drive creates success which in turn promotes McKesson’s culture of excellence and its pursuit not just of profits, but also the wellbeing and safety of all of us.
When we asked you, our readers, which individuals deserve your recognition, you spoke and gave us John Figueroa.
We are delighted to present John Figueroa as the Supply Chain Executive of the Decade, and look forward to honoring many more like him in the Global Supply Chain Review.
We are also pleased to present two compelling articles this month “’Yes’ to Cost Savings and ‘More’ Compliance – Absolutely” by Jeff Chiu and “Reducing Store Stockouts By Leveraging Large Data Sets” by Ray Whitley, two of the best professionals in their respective areas of expertise.
