The Food Logistics Champions: Rock Stars of the Supply Chain recognizes influential individuals in the industry whose achievements, hard work, and vision have shaped and attained milestones in safety, efficiency, productivity and innovation through the global food supply chain. From early pioneers and entrepreneurs to non-conformist thinkers and executive standouts, this award aims to honor these leaders and their contributions to the food distribution industry.


John Flynn is recognized for his efforts to advance the supply chain through innovative asset management solutions that lower operating costs for companies with transportation fleets. Under Flynn’s leadership, Fleet Advantage is recognized as one of the most disruptive and innovative companies in asset management and technology today.
