"Supply chain management is becoming a critical component in corporate success, leadership and customer satisfaction.

Straw joins Compaq from Ryder Integrated Logistics, Inc. -- a $2 billion logistics services company -- where he served as president. Previously, Straw was Chief Executive Officer of the Department of Defense Logistics Agency, and spent 35 years in the U.S. Navy in various commands focused in the area of logistics.
