Leadership in supply chain is shaped through experience, especially in moments of complexity and change.
In a recent Women in Supply Chain™ feature with Let’s Talk Supply Chain, Tracy Kosiarek reflects on a career that began as a Supply Officer in the U.S. Navy and grew through decades of global manufacturing and supply chain leadership. From managing logistics and operational readiness to leading manufacturing initiatives across the United States and Asia, those experiences shaped a leadership philosophy grounded in teamwork, discipline, and respect for people.
“Listening to other ideas and bringing a team together would accomplish much more than acting alone.”
That belief continues to guide Tracy’s work today. She has seen firsthand that sustainable results come when leaders create shared ownership, encourage collaboration, and ensure every voice is heard. These principles are not separate from performance. They are what make progress possible.
As a Principal Consultant at Zinata, Tracy leads with a people-first approach to transformation, helping leaders and teams adopt new ways of working so change is embraced and sustained. As AI and technology continue to evolve, she ensures organizations stay grounded in the human experience needed to make those innovations successful.
