Valerie Bandy 

As a licensed and registered pharmacist with 25 years of experience, Valerie Bandy has managed critical operations at more than 100 hospitals, overseen multi-billion-dollar budgets, and tackled multi-million-dollar cost-saving targets. She has served on committees and in officer roles at the local, state, and national level including TSHP (Texas Society of Health System Pharmacists), ASHP (American Society of Health System Pharmacists), MSHP, and other professional boards and foundations. Prior to joining Tecsys, she was the director of Pharmacy at Wellstar’s Atlanta Medical Center in downtown Atlanta after leaving Trinity Health’s corporate office where she was the system director of Pharmacy. She also worked for five years on the Healthcare Provider Performance Improvement team under Strategy and Operations as a Specialist Master for Deloitte Consulting, LLP, and on the Healthcare Provider team at PriceWaterhouseCoopers. She holds experience in the full spectrums of pharmaceutical manufacturing, regulatory compliance, technology, billing, and operations industries. In her current role, she serves as a valuable source of innovative pharmacy operations insights amongst her peers within and outside of Tecsys.

Neeta Garg

With 20 years of experience in the software industry, Neeta has built her supply chain career over the last 13 years at Tecsys. Joining as a senior application developer in 2010, she now serves as the delivery director for Retail, where she has successfully led the implementation of complex supply chain order management solutions globally resulting in smoother operations, heightened efficiency, and cost reductions. Neeta’s expertise extends to optimizing various aspects of supply chain management, including inventory management, order management, and fulfillment. Neeta has implemented end-to-end order management solutions such as global ship-to-home from warehouse, ship-to-home from store, and buy online pick up in-store workflows, leading to reduced errors, faster order processing, and enhanced customer satisfaction. Her leadership and dedication to refining supply chain operations is well exercised through podcasts, education and training, thought leadership and customer implementations.

“With great pride and admiration, we celebrate Valerie Bandy and Neeta Garg for their innovative contributions to the Tecsys team and the broader industry," said Nancy Cloutier, chief human resources officer (CHRO).

As more women join the supply chain workforce, they bring diverse perspectives that can help address complex supply chain problems and improve global supply chain operations. It is important that we empower, recognize and elevate these achievements through initiatives like the Women in Supply Chain Award, as seen through the overwhelming response.
