The Organizing Committee of the National Quality Mark Award proudly recognizes the outstanding contribution of Mr. Yurii Gerasymov, who served as an official member of the Expert Committee for the 2025 edition of the Award.
In this capacity, Mr. Gerasymov played a key role in the multi-level evaluation of nominees, ensuring the objectivity, impartiality, and credibility of the competition. His work was distinguished by exceptional professionalism, analytical precision, and unwavering adherence to ethical standards. He not only evaluated the visible results of services and products, but also assessed the deeper technological, infrastructural, operational, and logistics-based dimensions of corporate performance in complex supply chain environments.
With extensive professional expertise in transportation logistics, fleet management, cold chain supply systems, perishable and deep-frozen cargo handling, digital integration in logistics, and innovative infrastructure delivery, Mr. Gerasymov is the author of several professional research works and analytical studies. His academic background begins at the Pridnestrovian State University named after T. G. Shevchenko (1994–2003), later supplemented by extensive self-education in the transportation and supply-chain field.
His scientific interests include:
• uninterrupted delivery of bulk materials in construction of roads, overpasses, and highways,
• integration of IoT, ERP, and SCM systems into logistics processes,
• implementation of advanced monitoring and risk-reduction frameworks,
• sustainable logistics and cold chain efficiency for perishable and deep-frozen products,
• supply chain optimization and digital analytics for high-risk cargo categories.
His published studies — including the analytical work “Features of uninterrupted delivery of bulk materials in the construction of roads, overpasses, and highways”, as well as the research “Specifications for Transportation of Deep-Frozen and Perishable Products” — have been referenced as academic material in the field of modern transport logistics. These works highlight vulnerabilities in cold chain operations, the role of HACCP / ISO 22000 frameworks, the importance of integrated real-time monitoring tools, as well as the economic and environmental effects of “green logistics.” His research is relevant both for academic institutions and for practicing logistics professionals.
He has participated in conferences, professional events, and has received notable recognitions, including the honorary distinction “Great Ukrainians,” the “Order of Honor,” and the title of Winner in the “American Business Carnival” in the Fleet Management category.
In 2025, Mr. Gerasymov was officially invited to join the Expert Committee of the National Quality Mark Award, an annual U.S. initiative that identifies and honors companies committed to quality, responsibility, and sustainable development across the business landscape.
During the 2025 campaign, he contributed his expertise to evaluation categories related to:
• transport logistics & operational supply chain performance,
• infrastructure-related fleet efficiency & process reliability,
• cold chain management for perishable and frozen categories,
• integration of innovative monitoring technologies,
• compliance with international logistics standards, operational risk models, and quality control frameworks.
His analytical rigor — combining scientific knowledge, operational depth, and strategic evaluation — decisively reinforced the authority, transparency, and international credibility of the Award. By applying his unique logistics-based professional background to the selection process, he ensured that the evaluation methodology included not only corporate performance metrics but also real practical indicators of reliability, process stability, sustainability, quality control, and long-term operational efficiency.
His contributions have been highlighted in the official publications of the National Quality Mark Award, emphasizing his role in supporting innovation, excellence, and responsibility within the logistics sector, cold chain transportation, sustainable infrastructure, and advanced supply-chain management.
With strong domain expertise, a wide international perspective, and a consistent dedication to quality and professional development, Yurii Gerasymov stands as a respected expert, evaluator, and strategic contributor for professional councils, expert committees, and international initiatives focused on high-end transportation logistics, fleet optimization, cold chain methodology, and sustainable business development.
