Supply Chain Decoded | Feat. Amber Romando, Spartan Logistics

In a male-dominated industry that often rewards polish over honesty, Amber Romando shows up with zero filters and total heart. From her beginnings as a dispatcher at UPS to becoming COO of Spartan Logistics and President of CSCMP Chicago Roundtable, Amber has carved out a career defined by grit, grace, and guts. In this conversation with host Jenni Ruiz, Amber opens up about betting on herself before LinkedIn even existed, the mentors who changed her life, and how she learned to turn tragedy into legacy. She talks candidly about what it means to be a woman navigating conferences, boardrooms, and truck yards—and why she refuses to play small or play nice when the stakes are high. This is a masterclass in showing up fully, leading with empathy, and staying authentic no matter who’s in the room. Whether you’re a logistics veteran or just someone trying to find your footing in a tough industry, Amber’s story will make you laugh, nod, and maybe even take a few notes. Authenticity. Advocacy. No apologies. Amber’s got all three—and she’s using them to change the game. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.
