ALOM CEO to Speak at WBENC 2013 National Conference & Business Fair

Hannah Kain, President and CEO of ALOM, a global leader in supply chain management, will present successful strategies for “Entering the International Market” at the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) 2013 National Conference & Business Fair taking place on June 25-27 in Minneapolis, MN. Over 3,000 major corporations and Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs) are expected at the overall conference.

“The international marketplace provides tremendous opportunity for business growth, but it is also fraught with risk and complexities. A supplier must be prepared to closely monitor and provide solutions for handling multiple regulations, political and natural disruptions and ethical issues, not just within its own operations but also with its suppliers and their sub-contractors,” Kain says.

Serving Fortune 100 clients with 16 locations worldwide, ALOM has been at the forefront of making integrated supply chain management a crucial C-suite tool for enhanced performance and risk management. Its proprietary COMPASS™ Client Portal provides a unified view of a client’s global businesses with a real-time dashboard and Key Performance Indicators on tasks such as product and service delivery in multiple markets and product lines around the globe.

ALOM manages entire segments of its clients’ supply chain, including manufacturing and operations, product delivery and fulfillment, online customer interaction, and related support services. ALOM then goes one step further: optimizing processes and creating supply chain efficiencies to enhance output for its client, all while maintaining the rigorous level of quality for which it is known.

A WBENC-certified Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) and 2012 WBE Star, Kain is a frequent speaker on risk management strategies in a global supply chain. Part of the “Building Capacity” workshop track at the conference, “Entering the International Market” will take place Thursday, June 27, at the Minneapolis Convention Center.

Kain won the Astra Women’s Business Alliance 2011 Global Excellence Award and Astra 2009 Excellence in Strategic Alliances Award. She was recognized with the 2011 prestigious Vistage Leadership Award. She is a Board member of the National Association of Manufacturers, on the Advisory Council of the Global Supply Chain Leaders Group, and a Board member of Watermark.
