She is also the first black CEO in the history of FedEx, a distinction that she believes is as much about creating opportunities for those who are on their way up through the ranks as it is a success for her personally.In this interview, Ramona shares her personal journey and leadership philosophy with co-hosts Kelly Barner and Scott Luton:• What it was like to watch her team rise to the challenge of COVID-19 and then play an active role in the distribution of vaccines• The drive and intentionality that are crucial for every individual that wants to set themselves up for personal and professional success• How she serves as a role model for not just her team, but also her daughters, who have had the opportunity to witness her hard work and dedication firsthandAdditional Links &amp; Resources:Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-nowSubscribe to Supply Chain Now and all other Supply Chain Now programs: https://supplychainnow.com/subscribeCheck out the 2022 Supply Chain and Procurement Awards: https://supplychainprocurementawards.com/WEBINAR- How to Solve Three Common Peak Season Challenges: https://bit.ly/3r3QxelThis episode was hosted by Scott Luton and Kelly Barner.

LEAD

Ramona Hood has been at the same company (FedEx) for nearly thirty years. She started as a receptionist…and now she’s a CEO. Ramona joined us this week to tell us how she stayed determined - and why creating her own personal “board of directors” (think: a network of mentors, coaches, and sponsors) helped her get to the top job. In this episode, Ramona shares how she was able to get noticed at the company (6:03), her advice for approaching potential mentors (12:53), and why she believes authenticity is the key to leadership (24:51).
