Managing third-party risks in the supply chain

In an environment as dynamic as an enterprise supply chain, communication plays a key role in maintaining safety and security across a wide range of third parties. As the world becomes more interconnected and organizations rely on each other to produce goods, operate efficiently and serve their industries, risks present in one link of the supply chain can magnify and have global effects.

“One mistake or safety incident that comes up can result in disruptions in the supply chain,” says Rosalina Gadsden Acosta, experienced leader in supply chain security and compliance that has held multiple roles across Meta Platforms Inc., The Boeing Company and manufacturing sites in Mexico. Acosta started in supply chain on the logistics side, gaining hands-on experience in supply chain operations. She says that practical experience helped her realize the importance of visibility and awareness of each aspect of the enterprise supply chain.
