Speakers from Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland and Mary Kay Global share their personal experiences and the vital role mentorship plays in empowering future leaders

NEW YORK, Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Brand new for the Manifest Vegas Women’s Lunch will be a focus on mentorship as well as a male speaker taking the stage for the first time at this event. In its fourth year, the Women’s Lunch will celebrate women in the supply chain logistics spaces in partnership with DHL Supply Chain, Daimler Truck Financial Services, Food Logistics, Supply & Demand Chain Executive and The Blended Pledge on February 12th, 2025, at The Venetian. Manifest Vegas is the only event that brings together industry executives, top venture investors, cutting edge startups and technology leaders that strive to find solutions to critical end-to-end supply chain and logistics disruptions – while identifying breakthrough technologies.

One of the biggest themes of this year’s Women’s Lunch will be mentorship – a study by McKinsey & Company found that women who have mentors are 50% more likely to be promoted than those who do not. This highlights the significant positive impact mentorship can have on female leaders, helping them advance in their careers and achieve leadership positions.

The Women’s Lunch will welcome Tammy Wharton, the CEO & President of Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland, a council serving 18,000 girls in 30 Ohio counties. Tammy enjoys advocating for the most critical issues to advance the Girl Scout mission of building girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. Joining Tammy on stage will be Michael Ringsdorf, Vice President of Transportation & Logistics at Mary Kay Global. Throughout his career, Michael has been a champion for developing the next generation of leaders in the supply chain – having created a robust internship program that has attracted top-tier supply chain talent from some of the best academic programs in the country.

“Mentors help us dream big—and those dreams shape our future, ” said Wharton. “I see this every day in my work with leaders, but it’s just as inspiring to see how Girl Scouts empower girls to dream boldly and achieve. Investing in mentorship at every stage of life makes a lasting impact!”

Tammy and Michael will both share their inspiring stories and discuss the importance of diversity and mentorship, highlighting how both drive business growth and build a pipeline of future leaders.

While it is called a Women’s Lunch, both women and the men who support them are invited to attend. Also new for the 2025 lunch will be the launch of a mentorship program that uses proprietary technology to connect those looking for mentors with those willing to provide the guidance to make the relationship valuable for both the mentor and the mentee.

Manifest Vegas’ commitment to diversity doesn’t end with the Women’s Lunch. The importance of including different perspectives from the supply chain and logistics community can be seen throughout the entire Manifest Vegas speaker line-up which can be viewed on the website.

MARRAKECH, Morocco, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA), an independent and non-political anti-corruption organisation with over 190 member anti-corruption authorities (ACAs) worldwide, will co-host IAACA Annual Conference 2026 in Marrakech, Morocco next month together with the Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong, China (ICAC) and the National Authority for Probity, Prevention and Fight Against Corruption of Morocco (INPPLC) to chart a path for the global graft fight and explore cutting-edge approaches to tackle emerging corruption challenges.

Themed “Building on 20 Years of Legacy: Drawing Strength from the Past, Guarding Global Integrity for the Future”, the international event will not only mark the 20th anniversary of the IAACA, but also provide a dynamic forum for IAACA members to exchange insights and enhance co-operation.

Calling on international counterparts to participate in the conference scheduled for November 25, IAACA President Mr Woo Ying-ming, who also serves as ICAC Commissioner, said that “As the IAACA marks its 20th anniversary, the conference will bring together global anti-corruption community at a pivotal moment for collective action. I anticipate that the valuable insights and new approaches generated through the international synergy will chart a resilient strategic path for us to navigate integrity risks and draw strength from our shared legacy to guard global integrity for generations to come.”

During the conference, renowned international experts from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Basel Institute on Governance, the International Anti-Corruption Academy, and global anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies and institutions will shed light on harnessing artificial intelligence in the fight against corruption, safeguarding integrity within global climate and biodiversity frameworks and analysing global corruption measurement and systemic effectiveness.

Following the conference, the ICAC, the INPPLC, the IAACA and the UNODC will co-organise a training seminar on leveraging AI in combating corruption.

While the ICAC and INPPLC will share how AI and new technology can reshape the future of anti-graft enforcement and corruption prevention, the UNODC will provide a global perspective on using AI models in financial crime investigations and addressing the operational relevance, legal robustness and adaptability across jurisdictions.

Viettel moves 100 million subscribers to home-grown cloud-native charging in three months – with zero downtime

HANOI, Vietnam, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Viettel High Technology Industries Corporation (Viettel High Tech), part of Viettel Group, has migrated more than 100 million subscribers and some 5,000 tariff plans at Viettel, Vietnam’s largest mobile operator, to vOCS 4.0, its in-house cloud-native charging system. The three-month cutover ran on a live national network with no service disruption.

Replacing a charging system is one of the riskiest projects an operator can undertake, which is why many stick with legacy platforms. Viettel High Tech reduced the risk through real-time data synchronization, parallel running and a phased cutover, with instant rollback at every stage.

The project won the Telecom Review Excellence Awards 2026 prize for Best Technology Deployment in Asia, a first for a Vietnamese company.

What it means for operators:

Scale: more than 300,000 transactions per second at latency below 5 milliseconds, across 2G–5G and fixed services on one platformLower cost: up to 50% less hardware investment than the previous generation, by sharing infrastructure with the networkAgility: new tariff plans in hours instead of days, new features three times faster and deployments about 30% fasterResilience: two active data centers about 2,000 km apart and automatic recovery in under two minutes

Viettel High Tech developed every core layer in-house, from a telecom-grade cloud-native platform and NFV-MANO orchestration to real-time charging, subscriber and balance management.

“Passing rigorous tests of real-time self-diagnosis and self-recovery is what allows an operator to keep its promise of 24/7 service to customers,” said Luu Manh Ha, CEO of Viettel Networks, which operates the system on Viettel’s network in Vietnam. “Above all, owning the charging system means an operator is not dependent on foreign vendors – it safeguards digital sovereignty and preserves business flexibility.”

“The charging system is where an operator’s business strategy turns into revenue in real time,” said Nguyen Minh Quang, CEO of Viettel High Tech. “We believe vOCS 4.0 is ready to help operators worldwide capture the value of 5G and digital services.”

In 2017, vOCS 4.0’s predecessor, vOCS 3.0, replaced a foreign vendor’s platform for 90 million Viettel subscribers. Across both generations, vOCS serves more than 220 million subscribers in 11 countries. Viettel High Tech now offers vOCS 4.0 to operators worldwide.
