letter from
the editors
The supply chain has always been the backbone of global commerce, but today it is something more: it is the primary stage for technological and ethical transformation. As we look toward the second half of 2026, the noise of “disruption” is being replaced by a more disciplined pursuit of resilience and transparency.
At Sourcing Journal, our mission has always been to provide the clarity needed to navigate this complexity. This July, we are taking that mission a step further with the launch of Visions of Tomorrow. This event isn’t just a summit; it is a recognition of the progress being made by those operating on the front line of change. These are innovators, leaders and companies that have moved beyond the experimental phase of a startup to implement scalable, real-world solutions.
We will be honoring six individuals who represent the pinnacle of leadership in sustainability, technology and logistics. These Visionaries were selected because they understand that the digital thread is not a buzzword, but a necessity for survival in an era of agentic commerce and heightened regulatory scrutiny.
We invite you to join us and enjoy a fine dining experience as we recognize leaders who are the stewards of supply chain success.
Sincerely,
Kate Nishimura

Honoring the Vanguard
We are celebrating six standout Visionaries across three pillars: Sustainability, Technology, and Supply Chain/Logistics. These are the “sweet spot” innovators and pioneers: individuals at companies that have moved past the startup phase and are now actively scaling the solutions that will define the next decade.
