  • Marlo Vitous and Anna Markett receive Women in Supply Chain awards from Supply & Demand Chain Executive
  • Award honors female supply chain leaders and executives across industries
September 19, 2022 , Auburn Hills, Mich. -  Two Stellantis executives have been named recipients of the 2022 Women in Supply Chain award by Supply & Demand Chain Executive. 

Both recipients, Marlo Vitous, North America senior vice president of purchasing and supply chain, and Anna Markett, North America senior vice president of supply chain, will be recognized on SDCExec.com.

In its third year, the Women in Supply Chain award honors female supply chain leaders and executives whose accomplishments, mentorship and examples set a foundation for women in all levels of a company’s supply chain network. 

“Marlo and Anna have demonstrated remarkable leadership through one of the most challenging periods in the automotive industry, working tirelessly to keep our pipelines full so our plants can keep running while supporting our transformation to become a sustainable mobility tech company,” said Mark Stewart, Stellantis North America COO. “We know that their contributions are invaluable, so we couldn’t be prouder that their efforts are also being recognized outside the company.”

Vitous was appointed to her current position in May 2022. In this role, she is responsible for supporting the company’s long-term strategy as outlined in its Dare Forward 2030 plan and delivering on its commitment to invest $35 billion on electrification and software development by 2025 through reliable and efficient sourcing. Vitous has been with the company for 24 years and worked in many roles of increasing responsibility within purchasing, supply chain, supplier quality, and manufacturing. 
Vitous is co-chair of Inforum’s AutomotiveNEXT and a member of the Women of Stellantis business resource group. She was recognized as one of Automotive News' 100 Leading Women in the Auto Industry in 2015 and featured in two books, “The Road to the Top is Not on the Map” in 2019 and “The Road Forward: More Conversations with Top Women in the Automotive Industry” in 2021, both sponsored by SAE International and Inforum. 

Vitous has a Bachelor of Science in business administration from Central Michigan University and a Master of Business Administration from Wayne State University.

Markett was appointed to her current position in August 2022. In this role, she is responsible for instilling and executing the company’s Dare Forward 2030 plan, including long-range planning, demand planning, production planning, order to delivery, supplier capacity, inbound/outbound logistics, and the consistent flow of parts into the company’s 35 plants in North America. She has been with the company for 22 years, working her way up through leadership roles in both supply chain and manufacturing, including being named vice president of North America supply in 2021.

Markett has completed the Inforum Women’s Leadership program and is also a mentor and member of the Women of Stellantis business resource group, Cross-Commercial Leadership Development Program, Manufacturing Leadership Development Program and Leader’s Embracing All Diversity.

Markett has a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Windsor. 

More than 280 submissions were received for this year’s award, according to the publication.
