Source Intelligence’s Chief Executive Officer Jess Kraus was awarded “CEO of the Year" by CIO Review magazine for utilizing technology and realizing his unique vision to build a company into the world’s leading supply chain management solution.
“Behind his vision to leverage technology to enable the harmonious coexistence of people, profit and planet, Kraus truly symbolizes the 21st century CEO, making the world we live in a better place,” the magazine wrote.
Source Intelligence’s main focus initially was on conflict minerals. New U.S. legislation – the Dodd Frank Act – required companies to investigate whether their products contained these minerals that are mined from certain Central Africa regions to fund a long-standing civil war and contribute to human rights issues. The article highlights how Source Intelligence now serves more than 200 Fortune 500 companies across 8 key industries with revenues in excess of $1 billion, as well as establishing the world’s largest data-driven supplier network.
Source Intelligence’s unique platform, which includes subject matter expertise and a 24/7 in-house supplier engagement team, has since scaled and been adapted to meet other needs, such as tracing restricted substances, products that may involve slavery or other human rights issues, and more.
Under Kraus’ leadership, Source Intelligence is now expanding into Europe and capitalizing on its experience and expertise to design and deliver additional products and services, such as solutions specifically for suppliers.
The CEO of the Year award is the second prestigious honor given to Source Intelligence in recent weeks. Source
