South Plainfield, New Jersey – September 17, 2024– PalletTrader, the leading innovator of technology-
driven pallet solutions, proudly announces that Jessica Dzugan, Vice President of Technology &
Innovation, has been named a 2024 Women in Supply Chain Trailblazer by Food Logistics and Supply &
Demand Chain Executive. The award honors female leaders who have made substantial contributions to
the supply chain sector, driving technological advancement and fostering the growth of future female
leaders.

“Jessica’s leadership and innovation has helped to transform and digitalize the pallet industry,” said John
Vaccaro, Founder and CEO of PalletTrader. “Her strategic advancements have not only optimized pallet
procurement practices but have also set new standards in the pallet sector, demonstrating the powerful
impact of data-driven solutions.”

Dzugan’s recognition in the Trailblazers category displays her pioneering role in revolutionizing the
pallet industry. She spearheaded the development of PalletTrader, the nation’s first online pallet
marketplace and order management platform. The platform launched in 2022 bringing a much needed
update to dated pallet procurement and management practices. Since its launch, Jessica and her team
have rolled out new product offerings and expanded services to meet the needs of both pallet buyers
and the pallet supplier community. Her efforts not only contributed to building out the largest, digital
nationwide network of pallet suppliers, providing on-demand reach to pallet supply and pricing, but also
helped bring data-driven insights and centralized visibility to what is typically a gray, fragmented sector
of the industry.

“Being recognized as a Trailblazer is a reflection of the impact that innovation and strategic leadership
can have on an industry,” said Dzugan. “I am committed to driving further advancements that will
continue to improve efficiency and transparency in the pallet sector, while also mentoring the next
generation of female leaders in our field. PalletTrader has taken many steps forward in 2024, with many
more to come in the years ahead.”

Jessica’s contribution to the space is rooted in her steadfast understanding of supply chain, where she
has spent the last 16 years at Bettaway Supply Chain services, a 40+ year supply chain company with
core focuses in transportation, logistics, warehousing and pallet management. Today, she continues to
focus on leveraging cutting edge technologies to enhance the operational efficiency across both
PalletTrader and Bettaway, ultimately providing better resource management, increased cost savings,
and enhanced services for clients.

As PalletTrader expands across North America, Dzugan’s expertise will be crucial in navigating new
markets and establishing strong strategic partnerships. Her commitment to creating a more inclusive
and innovative workplace continues to drive the company’s growth and influence within the supply
chain sector.
