Washington D.C.,, Sept. 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Washington D.C., ­– September 18, 2019 – Chemonics Executive Vice President, Jamey Butcher, received the 2019 Award of Excellence – Supply Chain Leader from the Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM), the global leader in supply chain learning, transformation, innovation and leadership. Mr. Butcher accepted the award at the ASCM 2019 conference.

“I am so honored to receive this award. So many people have contributed to the global health supply chain that Chemonics’ supports and operates, and this award is really for all of us and those we serve around the world,” said Mr. Butcher after the award ceremony.

Mr. Butcher serves as the current Executive Vice President and is the incoming CEO of Chemonics International Inc. Since joining Chemonics 20 years ago, Mr. Butcher has worked in a variety of roles, particularly focused on private sector development, health, and supply chain management in Africa, Europe and Eurasia, and Asia. He currently oversees Chemonics’ global health supply chain portfolio, providing technical assistance and service delivery to more than 60 countries for a variety of donors. He leads efforts to implement sustainable supply chains that can be transitioned to local governments and stakeholders, improve the delivery of health commodities, and scale up innovative approaches and the use of technology in developing countries to affect lives worldwide.

Under Mr. Butcher’s leadership, Chemonics has forged a strategic partnership with Arizona State University to create an accredited and accessible online program in supply chain management to ensure that Chemonics’ global network of professionals has access to affordable continuous learning and development opportunities. Mr. Butcher also drove technical and management enhancements that led to a dramatic improvement in results on the USAID-funded Global Health and Supply Chain Program-Procurement and Supply Management (GHSC-PSM) project, the U.S. government’s flagship mechanism through which countries can order and receive life-saving health commodities. Chemonics and a consortium of partners implement GHSC-PSM. To date, GHSC-PSM has procured nearly $2 billion of health commodities to fight HIV/AIDS and malaria and provide essential products for maternal and child health and reproductive health.
