Award honors female supply chain leaders whose accomplishments set a foundation for the success of women at all levels in the industry

HOUSTON, Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Quantix, North America’s leading supply chain services company to the chemical industry, announced today that three of its team members are named recipients of the “Women in Supply Chain Award” from leading industry publications, Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Food Logistics Magazine. The awards program receives hundreds of nominations and this year for the first time is split into categories including Workforce Innovator, Trailblazers and Rising Stars, among others.

“Julie, Amy and Anna are incredibly deserving of this honor and are true team players here at Quantix.” – John Labrie

Julie Block, Quantix Chief People Officer, is honored in the Workforce Innovator category, which pays tribute to female leaders whose efforts in supply chain education and workforce development help build a better workforce. Since joining Quantix in 2021, Block has assembled the building blocks of a high performance culture that spans roughly 2,350 employees plus contractors. Block is doing this through a relentless focus on putting people in the right seats with the right knowledge, information and skills to execute at the highest level while providing an outstanding customer experience.

With Quantix’s extensive network of dedicated employees across 30 terminals and 20 warehousing/packaging facilities nationwide, structure is key when it comes to the HR function. Block redefines how HR operates across the organization, providing a framework for people-related success that will help Quantix thrive for years to come.

Amy Armstrong, Quantix Vice President, 3PL, is honored in the Trailblazers category, which honors female leaders who continue to pave the way for future females in logistics. A leader in logistics for over 20 years, Armstrong leaves lasting marks on the companies she works for, which include Chevron Phillips Chemical, Trimac and TotalEnergies. At Quantix, she plays a key role in advancing the company’s bustling liquids division.

Quantix has a long standing history in dry bulk hauling and services. However, the liquid offering was a critical area where customers had a need, and thus, an opportunity arose. Armstrong played a major role in assembling a liquid sales team, managing contracts and pricing, onboarding customers and getting this area of the business off the ground in a short time. She has been a champion of Quantix’s liquid division ever since. Today, Quantix’s business is 50/50 liquid and dry, a testament to what Armstrong has helped grow during her time with the company.

Anna Whitaker, Quantix Planning Manager, is honored in the Rising Stars category, which recognizes young or newer professionals (39 and under) whose achievements, hard work and vision have shaped the supply chain network. A highly regarded team member at Quantix and supply chain industry up-and-comer, Whitaker built – and now manages – a planning team overseeing all inbound railcar tracing, packaging, packaging supplies and forecasting for three of Quantix’s massive export warehouses in the southern U.S.

Her ability to foster relationships with customers, suppliers, vendors and railroads opens the door for more transparent and meaningful communication, which leads to better visibility, higher-touch support and better collaboration overall. The value she adds at Quantix makes her a standout team player and a promising future leader within the company.

“Every year, this award continues to amaze me, but this year especially, it’s all about the quality of the submissions,” said Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Co-Founder of the Women in Supply Chain Forum. “These women are doing remarkable things for their communities, organizations and teams and are paving the way for future young female leaders to be a part of an industry that’s making a difference.”

“Quantix has started to establish quite a history with this award having had our female employees recognized for several consecutive years now, a testament to the impact women play within our business and across our industry,” said Quantix President and CEO, John Labrie. “Julie, Amy and Anna are incredibly deserving of this honor and are true team players here at Quantix. I’m proud to call them my colleagues.”

TULUFAN, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 19, employees of State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company came to State Power Investment Zhongli Tenghui Qiquanhu Photovoltaic Power Station to provide comprehensive technical support and guidance for new energy enterprises.

Seven wind power and photovoltaic power generation enterprises, including Xinjiang Jize Power Generation Company in Tulufan, have obtained 6.035 million KWH of grid electricity by purchasing 6,035 “green certificates” to achieve “green electricity – green electricity” and achieve green energy use in the whole link of new energy power generation.

The green power certificate, referred to as “green certificate”, is the only certificate that identifies the production and consumption of renewable energy power. Promoting the all-green operation of new energy power generation is an important measure to promote the green consumption of renewable energy.

“Before, we were just ‘producers’ of green electricity. Now the buyers of green certificates have become green electricity consumers, and the production process is fully green.” Qiquan Lake photovoltaic power station inspection officer Forzati Dilishati said.

Since the launch of the green electricity and green certificate market, State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company has actively promoted green electricity trading, promoted the supply of green electricity and green certificates in multiple scenarios, promoted the rapid promotion and popularization of related services in Tulufan, and helped build a new power system.

In the first eight months of this year, the cumulative volume of green electricity transactions in Xinjiang reached 1.174 billion KWH, 93.83 times that of the whole year of 2022.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, PayPal Ventures, the global venture capital arm of PayPal, announced an additional investment in Chaos Labs, an industry leader in onchain risk management. This investment underscores PayPal Ventures’ confidence in Chaos Labs’ potential and their blockchain products.

Chaos Labs’ recent launch of Edge, a new decentralized oracle protocol, has garnered significant attention within the industry. Edge has already secured a remarkable $30B over the last 2 months and has been adopted by leading exchanges such as Jupiter, the top perpetuals exchange on Solana, and GMX, the leading exchange on Arbitrum.

Edge offers a comprehensive, low-latency oracle solution, combining accurate price data with actionable market intelligence. Its advanced architecture ensures the security and efficiency of DeFi applications while providing insights into market dynamics and security risks. Edge monitors the market for specific risk signals, performs the offchain data parsing and computation, and outputs one actionable data point.

Omer Goldberg, CEO and Founder of Chaos Labs, said, “We’re excited to receive the strong confidence and additional support from the PayPal Ventures team. Edge by Chaos is the culmination of our entire company’s work and expertise. Edge Price, Risk, and Proofs deliver meaningful and unmatched contextualized risk and price data for assets including stablecoins and other real-world-assets, in addition to the crypto assets and venues that provide access to them.”

Last month, Chaos Labs announced a $55 million Series A funding round led by Haun Ventures, including prominent new investors such as F-Prime Capital, Slow Ventures, and Spartan Capital, and existing investors including PayPal Ventures. Chaos Labs has experienced significant growth, tripling its customer base and securing billions in trading volume, loans, and incentives.

PayPal Ventures’ investment aligns with PayPal’s ongoing commitment to the blockchain ecosystem. In May 2024, PayPal launched its stablecoin, PYUSD, on the Solana blockchain.

Amman Bhasin, Partner at PayPal Ventures, said, “Our continued investment in Chaos Labs reflects our belief in their vision to create a safer crypto ecosystem and move more financial services on chain. Chaos Labs has emerged as a leading risk authority in the sector and we are thrilled to witness their evolution as they launch innovative products like Edge to mitigate oracle vulnerabilities.”

Chaos Labs will receive the total investment in PYUSD on-chain. A simulation will be shown live on-stage on September 20th at the annual Solana Breakpoint conference in Singapore.
