Description
In this episode of the She Supply Chains Podcast, Priscilla Burke, Head of Supplier Risk Management at Stanley Black & Decker, joins us to discuss the critical importance of resilient and responsible sourcing practices. Priscilla recounts her non-linear journey from growing up in Barbados to navigating high-stakes supply chain disruptions along the US-Mexico border, highlighting how curiosity and strategic pivots helped her guide her risk management team through the chaos of COVID-19 and beyond.
She shares the details behind her award-winning ESG framework at Stanley Black & Decker and breaks down the human-centered philosophy powering her "BISCO" value system.
