Networking can be difficult in supply chain careers, especially for women. Liz Raman-Grubbs MASc ’20 hopes to help leaders like her to make more links and forge tighter bonds through Supply Chain Gals, a networking organization that helps women find confidence and community as they build their careers.
“Supply chain is traditionally a male-dominated field. A lot of people reach out to me and say ‘I just thought it wasn’t a career for me, because I didn’t see anyone who looks like me or thinks like me,’” she says.
The field includes roles such as procurement, logistics, and data analysis, all focused on managing the production of goods from sourcing raw materials through production and ultimately distribution to final buyers. Raman-Grubbs runs a multibillion-dollar third-party sales division at Amazon. She also offers candid work-life balance and career advice to more than 85,000 followers on her personal Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube accounts. “While Supply Chain Gals focuses on supply chain careers, my audience expands to also include topics like motherhood, tech, entrepreneurship, and career tips,” she says. “My mission is to empower women.”
The business world is taking notice: She was named to Forbes’s annual 30 under 30 list for 2025.
