Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive reviewed more than 300 submissions for the 2026 Women in Supply Chain Forum™ Award. Caroline Shleifer, Founder and CEO of RegASK, is among this year’s recipients, recognized in the Workforce Innovator category.
The category recognizes women advancing supply chain education and workforce development, and the people behind the industry.
Regulatory compliance sits close to the decisions that determine product availability, market access, and supply chain continuity. The teams carrying that responsibility spend much of their week on monitoring and coordination.
Caroline has made the same case for years: give routine tracking to agentic AI, and regulatory professionals can spend more of their time on impact assessment, cross-functional decisions, and market strategy.
That principle shapes the platform and the company alike.
RegASK became the first in its category to achieve ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification for AI management systems, giving regulatory affairs and quality leaders a governed framework for adopting AI with accountability and oversight.
The platform pairs agentic AI with a global community of 1,800+ regulatory experts across 160+ markets, bringing local context and human expertise into complex regulatory work.
That commitment extends inside RegASK. Today, 54% of the team are women, across a workforce representing 16 nationalities. Caroline also mentors emerging leaders across science, technology, and regulatory affairs.
“Regulatory work has always run on judgment. Agentic AI can take the tracking, the translation, and the triage. The decisions that carry consequence stay with the people accountable for them, and those people deserve governance they can stand behind. Building the agentic AI regulatory operating system means building for both.” Caroline Shleifer, Founder and CEO, RegASK
The full list of 2026 recipients is published by Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive.
The Women in Supply Chain Forum™ takes place November 17–19 in Charleston, South Carolina.
