Supporting the supply chain

The field includes roles such as procurement, logistics, and data analysis, all focused on managing the production of goods from sourcing raw materials through production and ultimately distribution to final buyers. Raman-Grubbs runs a multibillion-dollar third-party sales division at Amazon. She also offers candid work-life balance and career advice to more than 85,000 followers on her personal Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube accounts. “While Supply Chain Gals focuses on supply chain careers, my audience expands to also include topics like motherhood, tech, entrepreneurship, and career tips,” she says. “My mission is to empower women.”

The business world is taking notice: She was named to Forbes’s annual 30 under 30 list for 2025.

Raman-Grubbs studied supply chain management at Georgia Tech and then joined Home Depot’s transportation division as an operations analyst. Later, she served as a senior data analyst before coming to MIT to broaden her expertise.

“I wanted to pivot out of data and back into a business career with a goal to gain profit-and-loss ownership,” she says. “I had amazing mentors, women in supply chain, who encouraged me to go to MIT. Now I want to bring visibility to the inspiring women working in the supply chain field: If you can see it, you can be it.”

Supply Chain Gals gives its members access to mentorship, virtual workshops, and networking opportunities. For both her Supply Chain Gals and social media audiences, Raman-Grubbs also offers advice in relatable posts about balancing work and motherhood (she has a toddler and a rescue dog), navigating office politics, and finding retail deals—plus résumé pointers, salary negotiation strategies, and networking opportunities. 

One of her favorite tips? Go after what you want.

“If you want to get promoted, if you want to work remotely, if you want to get a recommendation letter for grad school, it never hurts to ask, and they might just say yes,” she says.
