Disney Petit: Rising Star
Disney is recognized in the Rising Stars category, honoring emerging leaders who are already making a measurable impact and shaping what the future of supply chain looks like.
Under Disney's leadership, LiquiDonate has built the first automated donation-disposition platform for reverse logistics — transforming how retailers handle returns and excess inventory by routing usable goods directly to nonprofits and community organizations instead of landfills. What started as an idea to close the gap between retail waste and community need has grown into a scalable, operationally sound system trusted by retailers across the country.
After finding out she received this award, Disney said, “I am incredibly humbled to be recognized in this capacity by such an important organization in our industry. It really reflects the overall shift towards a more sustainable retail supply chain, which seemed impossible five years ago when I first came up with this idea.”Â
This recognition reflects what the retailers, nonprofits, and partners who work with LiquiDonate already know: Disney brings both the vision to reimagine how supply chains can serve communities and the operational discipline to make it real.
What This Means for LiquiDonate
Being recognized by Supply & Demand Chain Executive is a milestone — but it's also a signal. Circular supply chain solutions are no longer a niche conversation. They're becoming a strategic priority for retail operators, and the leaders building that infrastructure are being noticed at the highest levels of the industry.
We're proud of this recognition and grateful to every retailer, nonprofit, and partner who has been part of building something worth acknowledging.
Congratulations, Disney. We’re excited for what’s ahead!Â
