Supply & Demand Chain Executive Honors LogicSource Leader, Erik Given, in the 2025 Pros to Know Awards
WESTPORT, Conn., March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LogicSource, the leader in procurement services and technology solutions, proudly announces that Erik Given, managing director of its distribution and logistics sourcing practice, is recognized in the 2025 Pros to Know Awards by Supply & Demand Chain Executive. This award honors outstanding executives whose accomplishments offer a roadmap for other leaders looking to use supply chain for competitive advantage. Given's recognition is part of the Leaders in Excellence category, which honors forward-thinkers who have made significant industry contributions.
Given is a distribution and logistics veteran with 35 years of experience leading best practices for organizations, including Heineken, MillerCoors, and Sysco. At LogicSource, he has played a pivotal role in helping clients build more resilient supply chains and enabling more substantial financial and operational outcomes.
"We are proud to celebrate Erik and his team's accomplishments in the 2025 Pros to Know Awards—an honor that reflects his dedication and excellence in supply chain leadership," said David Pennino, founder and CEO of LogicSource. "Erik's strategic vision for cost optimization, logistics network efficiency, and supply chain risk management has helped our clients optimize millions of dollars in indirect spend and remain resilient amid new challenges."
Given is a proven innovator and strategic advisor who has helped clients navigate supply chain difficulties such as economic uncertainties, potential port closures, and evolving tariff policies. His expertise in distribution and logistics equips today's top brands with a clear path to lower costs and enhanced efficiency. Given's recognition comes during a unique time for procurement teams, serving as a trusted voice for business leaders grappling with intense and unprecedented industry disruptions.
"Many of today's supply chain pros are more than just leaders within their space; they're pioneers of change. This year's list of winners pushed the boundaries in all facets: creating, implementing, transforming, innovating, reinventing, and collaborating. They executed on all fronts, over-delivering and over-performing. They are true professionals to know in the supply chain space," says Marina Mayer, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive and co-founder of the Women in Supply Chain Forum.
This award follows several other achievements for LogicSource, including Star Performer status in the Everest Group PEAK Matrix and recognitions from Inc. 5000, Spend Matters, and Financial Times for its substantial growth and business expansion.
