This award recognizes outstanding executives whose accomplishments offer a roadmap for other leaders looking to leverage supply chains for competitive advantage.

ROCKY RIVER, OH — March 23, 2022 — Supply & Demand Chain Executive, the only publication covering the entire global supply chain, named Steve Keener, Partner and Co-Founder of River Rock Advisors, as one of the winners of the 2023 Pros to Know award.

The annual Pros to Know award recognizes outstanding executives whose accomplishments offer a roadmap for other leaders looking to leverage supply chains for competitive advantage.

“This year’s list is filled with supply chain professionals whose achievements and success stories have helped move the needle in the supply chain. They promote safety, sustainability and workforce development. They work toward helping heal the supply chain. They’re actually in the supply chain,” says Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Food Logistics. “We received close to 400 nominations this year, the highest number of nominations ever for this award. It’s proof that today’s supply chain professionals are doing great things for the supply chain. They embody what a true leader should be. And, without their initiatives, programs and collaborative efforts, today’s supply chains would be in worse shape.”

“I am so excited and honored to receive this focused award,” said Keener. “I’m glad our teams were able to make such an impact for our clients that they nominated me, and I hope we can continue to make a positive effect on client supply chains.”

Keener has been in the consulting industry for over 30 years with a focus on supply chain consulting, private equity, professional services, and process improvement.
