This recognition is taken with humility and encouragement to pursue and accelerate our digital transformation journey. I want to thank Schneider Electric teams that made it possible and tell them how proud I am for the results achieved so far", said Stéphane Poittevin, Senior Vice President Global Supply Chain Europe at Schneider Electric.
