Keith Biondo
Moderator & Publisher, Inbound Logistics
Keith Biondo is the publisher of Inbound Logistics, an information leader in supply chain and logistics management for over 40 years. When Inbound Logistics produced its first issue in 1981, transportation and logistics were back-room silo functions and the term “supply chain” didn’t exist. The ideas the publication advocated—realigning business by better matching supply to demand, and speeding and reducing inventory—were diametrically opposed to what most were practicing. By staying true to its educational mission and through the efforts of a passionate staff, IL became the informational change agent for reinventing supply chain processes and a catalyst for this new overall approach to business operations.
