The award honors female leaders who continue to pave the way for future women pursuing careers in supply chain.

At Yale, a division of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Comer was the first female to hold a sales management position in the brand’s nationwide dealer network and was instrumental in founding the W4I women in leadership employee resource group (ERG), the first ERG at Hyster-Yale Materials Handling. Comer has worked her entire career alongside and with the organization, securing an internship in the Yale dealer network while attending Penn State University, and moving into a full-time dealership role immediately after college. During her tenure in the dealer network, she built strong relationships with leaders in the corporate organization, who recruited her to a major account role.

After rising to a director role, she then exercised her skill and passion for supporting dealer initiatives as a vice president of dealer sales for the eastern U.S. before being selected by leadership to build a new team dedicated to working with large dealer accounts. Now Comer leads the global brand, emerging technologies and events teams.

Comer is also passionate about helping her fellow professionals realize the best versions of themselves, a dedication best captured by her unique goal to someday work for someone who once worked for her.
