TOP SUPPLY CHAIN LEADERS 2023
Sami Pascal Naffakh
Chief Supply Chain Officer Reckitt
Sami Naffakh started working in FMCG Supply Chain exactly 30 years ago a bit accidentally as it was the only decent job offer he received… but literally fell in love with it and never moved out of it since. On the personal side, he is married, has three kids, and loves traveling and spending time with family and friends.
Message to the Supply Chain Community
It is a great honor, and I am truly humbled to be presented with this award. However, winning this award would not have been possible without a highly engaged, responsive, and agile workforce. The sheer magnitude and pace at which we have deployed several key transformation programs, whilst simultaneously navigating through continual external disruptions is a true testament to the entire Supply organization and our culture at Reckitt. I dedicate this award to the Reckitt Supply Chain, and on behalf of them, thank you.
Create a true sense of purpose and invest in your people. Everything will then become possible.
CASE STUDY
“In the last 18 months we have witnessed insurmountable disruption to our supply chain due to the war in Ukraine, unprecedented inflation, economic slowdown, geopolitical tensions, uncertainties around China, and severe weather events. Any one of these alone can be disruptive, but combined this has created significant volatility putting extreme pressure on both supply and demand. Despite these events, we have made significant progress against our sustainability targets and are progressing at pace in our mission to become a purpose- driven supply chain.”
