[Dublin, Ohio, February 3, 2025] — Food Logistics, the only publication exclusively dedicated to covering the movement of products through the global cold food supply chain, named Brian Kuramoto of EASE Logistics as one of the winners of this year’s Rock Stars of the Supply Chain award, which recognizes influential individuals in the industry whose achievements, hard work and vision have shaped the global cold food supply chain. This recognition is for the Rising Stars Category (young or newer professionals, 39 and under).
“Brian’s ability to build strong relationships—both within our team and with external partners—sets him apart,” says Peter Coratola Jr., President and CEO of EASE Logistics. “He excels at analyzing data, identifying key trends, and leveraging insights to make the best possible decisions for his customers. Brian has truly earned the title of Supply Chain Rising Star.”
Starting as an Account Manager (AM) in 2020, Brian quickly advanced to Senior AM thanks to his unwavering commitment to his clients. Every day, Brian is the primary point of contact for all accounts under his portfolio. He ensures the prosperity and expansion of his accounts by cultivating relationships, supervising activity, mentoring account managers and representatives, and generating key performance indicator reports on stability.
Noted for arriving early at the office, Brian ensures he is prepared to handle any questions from his customers. Apart from his usual tasks of providing clients with quotes or updates, Brian plays a significant role in briefing his team on the latest market trends, fostering a cooperative and knowledgeable work environment.
Recipients of this year’s award will be profiled in Food Logistics’ Jan/Feb 2025 print issue and at http://www.FoodLogistics.com.
“From cargo fraud and Mother Nature to ever-changing food safety regulations and a new Presidential Administration that could bring an increase in tariffs, cost of goods and more, many of today’s supply chain leaders are faced with a number of challenges. But it’s their resilience, hard work, innovation and attention to quality that separates these rock stars apart from everyone else. Every year, this award puts a spotlight on the best of the best in the cold chain industry,” says Marina Mayer, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive.
