This award honors female leaders shaping the future of supply chain resilience and customer-centric innovation
MILPITAS, Calif., September 16, 2025 — Supply & Demand Chain Executive has named April Oman, Chief Customer Officer at Resilinc, as one of the winners of the 2025 Women in Supply Chain Award, in the Workforce Innovators category. This award honors female supply chain leaders whose accomplishments, mentorship, and examples set the foundation for women across all levels of the industry.
Oman is widely recognized as a transformative, proactive global customer success executive with a proven ability to build customer-centric organizations. Fittingly, the theme for this year’s award was Think Outside the Box. Throughout her career, April has applied her intellectual curiosity and bias toward action to improve customer journeys, enacting the strategies, processes, and technologies that maximize value for clients in ways that required innovation and a forward-looking mindset. Her guiding belief is that leadership is a privilege: one that must inspire a “One Team” culture rooted in collaboration, transparency, accountability, and innovation.
At Resilinc, Oman leads global customer success and engagement, ensuring that organizations not only benefit from Resilinc’s supply chain risk and compliance offerings but also extract lasting value from them. Her leadership philosophy has directly contributed to measurable gains in customer adoption, retention, and growth, while simultaneously helping enterprises navigate disruptions, regulations, and geopolitical risk. April is also responsible for bringing the speed, value and efficiency of agentic AI in the supply chain to Resilinc customers.
“April exemplifies what it means to be a customer-first leader,” said Kamal Ahluwalia, CEO of Resilinc. “Her ability to bridge strategy with execution, and her passion for building organizations that thrive on collaboration and accountability, are helping Resilinc’s customers succeed in one of the most transformative business environments of our lifetime.”
Reflecting on the award, April Oman said:
“I am deeply honored to be recognized alongside so many incredible women in supply chain. To me, leadership is about enabling others to succeed. At Resilinc, that means creating an environment of collaboration and innovation, driving not just customer success but also industry-wide resilience. This recognition is much more about our customers and colleagues and their achievements than it is about me or any individual.”
“Every year, the award winners amaze me. Regardless of the disruptions, economic uncertainty, and other industry challenges, these women in supply chain winners are doing remarkable things for their communities, organizations and teams,” said Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Co-Founder of the Women in Supply Chain Forum. “In correlation with the theme of this year’s Women in Supply Chain Forum, these female logistics leaders are rising up; they’re strengthening leadership pipelines, enforcing a people-first leadership approach, spearheading new product introductions, and transforming the way the industry views women in supply chain. I couldn’t be more proud of this year’s winners.”
