Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Food Logistics name Heather Ewing as Recipient of 2025 Women in Supply Chain Award

Green Bay, WI., September 8, 2025 - Breakthrough, a leading sustainable fuel and freight solutions provider, announced that Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive have named Heather Ewing, Senior Director, Client Delivery at Breakthrough, as a recipient of the 2025 Women in Supply Chain award in the ‘Workforce Innovator’ category.

As the federal government shifts its focus away from emissions reduction and sustainability, shippers are stepping up to advance their science-based targets as long as it is economically viable. Achieving this balance requires a combination of reliable data, industry expertise, and careful planning to ensure a smooth and effective transition.

Heather’s leadership drives innovation, shaping the future of sustainable transportation. She oversees the implementation of Breakthrough’s end-to-end transportation emissions management solution, CleanMile, in industry-leading shippers’ networks, combining her attention to detail with a passion for solving complex challenges. As infrastructure emerges and policies shift, she brings a strategic vision, expertly navigating complexities to deliver measurable impact. Under Heather’s leadership, shippers using CleanMile have achieved an average 6% reduction in emissions intensity and have increased their usage of alternative energy by 24%, further showcasing her ability to turn data-driven insights into measurable impact. Beyond her strategic achievements, Heather is a dedicated mentor who prioritizes personal and professional development, empowering her team with the tools and support they need to make impactful decisions and succeed.

Regardless of the disruptions, economic uncertainty, and other industry challenges, these women in supply chain winners are doing remarkable things for their communities, organizations and teams,” says Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Co-Founder of the Women in Supply Chain Forum. “In correlation with the theme of this year’s Women in Supply Chain Forum, these female logistics leaders are rising up; they’re strengthening leadership pipelines, enforcing a people-first leadership approach, spearheading new product introductions, and transforming the way the industry views women in supply chain.
