Remembering Mary Holcomb. Logistics Management regrets to report that Mary Holcomb, the Gerald T. Niedert Professor, Professor of Supply Chain Management, Martin and Jean Mills Faculty Research Fellow at the University of Tennessee, and co-author of LM's annual "Annual Study of Logistics and Transportation Trends (Masters of Logistics)," recently passed away. Holcomb was well known in supply chain circles as an author, as well as a speaker at industry conferences, webcasts and meetings all over the world. "Many of us were saddened by the sudden loss of Mary Holcomb," said Karl B. Manrodt, Ph.D., of Georgia College, and co-author of LM's Masters of Logistics. "She was a strong advocate for the industry and a role model for all to follow. She led with grace, humility, curiosity and a deep interest in the people around her. She never considered herself to be better than anyone else, which made her approachable to all. It's been encouraging to hear, and share, the many stories of Mary's impact on individual lives." |
