Eric Hurley, adjunct faculty in supply chain management in the University of Central Arkansas College of Business, has been named to Arkansas Business’ 2020 40 Under 40 list.
The annual list recognizes leaders in business, nonprofits, community service and government who are making a significant impact in Arkansas.
“This is a well-deserved honor for Eric,” said Doug Voss, professor of logistics and supply chain management and director of the Center for Logistics, Education, Advancement & Research. “He is a great addition to our logistics and supply chain management faculty, and we are lucky to have him.”
The 2020 class will be recognized at a July 22 luncheon at DoubleTree Little Rock.
Hurley is a former senior manager of business excellence at Welspun Tubular. He worked for the company, a manufacturer of steel pipes for the oil and gas industry, for more than six years. He began as a production planner in 2013 and has also served as project manager and head of department planning and contract management.
Hurley holds a bachelor’s in civil engineering with an emphasis in structural design and a Master of Business Administration with an emphasis in economics.
He was recently hired and will teach logistics strategy this fall.
