Women in Supply Chain: Tecsys' Annie Torikian Talks Balancing Professional and Social Responsibility

Annie Torikian, VP, enhanced business solutions, Tecsys, was named one of Food Logistics' and Supply & Demand Chain Executive's 2024 Women in Supply Chain award winners in the Trailblazers category. 

Torikia had just started a family when she took a job at a local company. Reducing her commute and spending more time at home was top priority. But, little did she know that "proximity to her house" would lead to a lifelong love affair with supply chain.

Like the supply chain industry, Torikian is driven by efficiency and innovation. As a result, she's amassed over 25 years' of experience in diverse roles and has been centrally involved in a number of innovative solutions and initiatives.

Torikia sat down with Sarah Barnes-Humphrey, founder of Let's Talk Supply Chain podcast and Blended Pledge program, both exclusive sponsors of the Women in Supply Chain award, to talk about the importance of automation, how to achieve career longevity and what it takes to successfully balance professional and social responsibility.
