Women in Logistics: Leading in a Male-Dominated Industry

Описание: In recognition of Women’s History Month, host Josh Gregory sits down with Annalee Cate, CEO of the RCPA Fuel Card, and Grace Bay, CEO of Hello Truck Lease, to discuss their paths into the male-dominated logistics industry and what they’ve learned as leaders.
They share how being young women shaped early client dynamics, how strong culture and open communication can improve performance, and why capacity—not desire—often limits leadership. The conversation covers the value of measuring what matters, using modern resources instead of reinventing the wheel, and how their companies solve everyday contractor pain points like fuel control and fleet cost volatility.
