About the CSCMP Executive Inner Circle (EIC)

The Executive Inner Circle (EIC) is an exclusive, invitation-only experience for CSCMP executive members. It brings together a select group of senior industry practitioners and service providers, all leaders in their respective organizations. EIC serves as a platform for sharing best practices, learning from world-class companies, and exploring innovative approaches to the evolving supply chain landscape. The group meets in person on a quarterly basis in a collaborative and conversational setting.

EIC members also gain access to exclusive CSCMP benefits, including specialized content, conferences, training, and networking opportunities.

He acts as an ambassador, influencer and evangelist for CSCMP with other associations, industry trade groups, and stakeholders in the supply chain discipline. Using his background in global trade and higher education, Karl has been instrumental in helping to create the semiconductor supply chain report, an alliance with The Association for Manufacturing Technology, and new channels for membership growth and expansion.

 

Rick Blasgen
Former CSCMP President & CEO, and Strategic Advisor to CSCMP

Rick’s rich history of leading supply chains for commercial brands like Kraft-Nabisco and most recently, CSCMP brings connections and leadership perspectives to the EIC that has set it on a trajectory of success. Rick has said many times that this is the decade of the supply chain, and boy was he right! Developing leaders to succeed in this decade takes more than on-the-job learning…it takes a “room” of like-minded professionals to create the “next,” and Rick is inspired to help all of us do just that.
