Women of the
Revolution
2026
Recognizing the women rewriting the rules of supply chain, sustainability, and systems thinking — across every tier of influence.
What Is Women of the Revolution?
Women of the Revolution is a global recognition program founded by Sheri Hinish, the Supply Chain Queen®, to surface and celebrate the women reshaping supply chain, sustainability, procurement, and logistics at every level of the ecosystem.
This is not a ranking. It is a declaration. The program deliberately refuses a single-axis definition of influence. A government minister designing climate policy in Mexico and a founder building community for women in trucking are both revolutionaries. The criteria honor depth, originality, and irreversible impact — not job title or institutional affiliation alone.
The 2026 class spans startups and Fortune 500 enterprises, academia and advocacy, the Global South and established power centers. It is the Supply Chain Queen community's way of saying: the revolution is already happening, and these women are leading it.
"The revolution does not wait for permission. It is already in motion — and these women are its architects."— Sheri Hinish, Supply Chain Queen®
Three Tiers,
One Revolution
Each tier names a distinct mode of leadership. Together, they form a complete picture of how systemic change actually moves — through illumination, acceleration, and origination.
Luminary
She illuminates what others have yet to see. Her work redefines the conversation. She is a door opener. Where she leads, the industry and communities recalibrate.
25 Honorees · 2026Catalyst
She accelerates what the world needs most. She turns bold ideas into irreversible momentum. She does not wait for the system to be ready. She makes it ready.
25 Honorees · 2026Trailblazer
She builds the road that others will travel. She steps into uncharted territory and creates something original. She does not need a blueprint. She writes one.
15 Honorees · 2026The 2026 Class
Sixty-five extraordinary women. Three tiers of leadership. One declaration that supply chain is a force for regenerative change — and these women are proving it every day.

Support storytelling, press strategy, and platform amplification. Help the honorees' stories reach the audiences that need to hear them most.
