Send me a message What if the real bottleneck in warehouse performance isn’t the tech, but the people, decisions, and systems needed to make it work together? Keith Moore says it plainly: software is easy, people are hard. In this special Resilient Supply Chain roundtable, I’m joined by Mor Peretz, CEO of CaPow, Keith Moore, CEO of AutoScheduler, and Gonzalo Benedit, CRO of Aera Technology, to unpack what warehouse orchestration really means and why it matters now. For leaders focused on supp...
Send me a message What if the real reason transformation stalls isn’t the tech, but the fact that everyone is making decisions with a different rubric? And what happens when you start training AI on processes built 30 years ago? In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Don Mahoney, Global Head of Products and Innovation at SNP Group. Don has had a ringside seat to some of the world’s largest enterprise transformations, and he brings a sharp perspective on what actu...
Send me a message What happens when a war hits not just oil, but fertiliser, LNG, jet fuel, shipping, and food? This isn’t just geopolitics. It’s a live stress test for global supply chains. In this first bonus episode of Resilient Supply Chain+, I break down how the US and Israel’s war on Iran is rippling through global trade, energy markets, inflation, and food systems, and why this matters right now for anyone serious about supply chain resilience, sustainability, risk, and visibility. The...
Send me a message If your AI strategy can’t show hard ROI, it’s not a strategy at all. And if your supply chain still runs on phone calls, emails, and patchy partner data, resilience is weaker than it looks. In this episode, I’m joined by JP Wiggins, CEO of 1Logtech, co-founder of GLog which became Oracle Transportation Management, co-founder of 3G TMS, and a former SAP transportation leader. JP has spent decades in logistics, transport, and TMS, so when he says the real bottleneck in s...
Send me a message What happens when last-mile delivery stops being a logistics function and starts becoming a strategic differentiator? It changes how you think about cost, resilience, sustainability, and even customer retention. In this week's episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Nishith Rastogi, Founder and CEO of Locus, to explore why last mile has become one of the most consequential decision layers in modern supply chains. For leaders focused on supply chain resil...
Send me a message If your safety metrics are improving, are your people actually safer? Or are you just getting better at measuring the wrong things? In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by John Dony, CEO and co-founder of the What Works Institute, and Mike Swain, Technical Enablement Manager at Evotix, to unpack a stubborn problem hiding in plain sight: why serious injuries and fatalities remain frustratingly hard to reduce, even as traditional safety metrics app...
Send me a message Is your supply chain one nut away from failure? In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain podcast, I’m joined by Jonathan Doller, Senior Solution Consultant at Logility (now part of Aptean), to explore how AI is reshaping supply chain resilience - beyond the hype, and into real operational impact. At a time of tariff shocks, port disruptions, climate risk and talent pressure, the question isn’t whether to use AI, but how to use it intelligently. You’ll hear how AI can di...
Send me a message In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Ricky Ho, Founder of SourceReady, to explore how AI is reshaping sourcing, supplier discovery, and supply chain resilience in an era of tariff shocks, sanctions risk, and geopolitical uncertainty. We unpack why sourcing is still stubbornly relationship-driven, and why that’s becoming a structural risk. You’ll hear how AI can scan customs data, certifications, sanction lists and even supplier-of-supplier exp...
Send me a message Over 50% of companies say they’re getting garbage supplier data. Over 40% never hear back at all. And we’re basing ESG disclosures, compliance filings, and climate targets on that? In this episode, I’m joined by Lily Hogan, Senior Product Manager at 3E, to unpack why supplier data remains one of the biggest hidden risks in supply chain resilience and sustainability. In a world of tightening regulation, PFAS bans, digital product passports and rising scrutiny, visibility isn’...
Send me a message If 98% of your emissions sit in your supply chain, what does that say about your resilience when things start to break? In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Keith O’Flynn, Group Supply Chain Sustainability Manager at John Sisk & Son. Construction is often labelled slow, conservative, and carbon-heavy. But beneath the surface, it’s becoming a stress test for how resilient modern supply chains really are. With regulation tightening, data und...
Send me a message Three corporate jets as “excess assets.” Absurd? Yes. Rare? Not really. What does that say about how companies handle surplus? In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Gordon Zellner, CEO and founder of Evergreen Trading, to unpack a problem most organisations quietly struggle with: surplus that turns into risk, waste, and financial drag. Excess inventory, idle equipment, empty buildings, overbought materials. In uncertain times, these don’t vanis...
Send me a message The EU Deforestation Regulation has been delayed — but the clock is still ticking. Are supply chains really ready? Deforestation has long been treated as a distant, upstream issue. With the EU Deforestation Regulation postponed until 31 December 2026, some companies may be tempted to pause. That would be a mistake. The expectations are clear, the data requirements are real, and the time to build traceability is now. In this episode, I’m joined by Priscillia Moulin, Director ...
Send me a message Is ESG really about sustainability, or is it quietly becoming a hard economic filter for who gets to trade, raise capital, and survive? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Nisha Kohli, Founder and CEO of CorpStage, to unpack why ESG has shifted from glossy reporting to something far more consequential for supply chain resilience, risk, and competitiveness. Nisha has spent over two decades working across corporate governance, sustainability, and finance, and she’s seen first-ha...
Send me a message AI won’t fix broken decisions. Capital markets are driving sustainability. And climate risk is already a safety issue. So why are EHS and sustainability still treated as separate systems? In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Catryna Jackson, Global Environmental Health and Safety and Sustainability Advisor at Evotix, and Monique Parker, Chief Sustainability Officer at Elevra Lithium. Between them, they bring decades of frontline experience acr...
Send me a message Industrial heat powers half of manufacturing - and almost no one is talking about it. What if one of the biggest supply chain emissions problems has been hiding in the boiler room all along? In this episode, I’m joined by Addison Stark, CEO and co-founder of AtmosZero, to tackle one of the most overlooked risks in industrial sustainability: steam. A 160-year-old technology that still delivers roughly half of all industrial heat, quietly underpinning food, chemicals, pharmace...
Send me a message Can your pension quietly sabotage your climate and supply chain goals without you ever knowing? What if one of the biggest risks to resilience isn’t logistics or energy, but where your money sleeps at night? In this episode, I’m joined by Scott Ryan, founder and CEO of Investature, to unpack a part of the sustainability conversation that’s usually ignored. Finance. Specifically, the financial supply chain hidden inside pensions, retirement plans, and long-term investments. A...
Send me a message What if sustainability didn’t rely on good intentions, ESG reports, or awareness campaigns… but on incentives that actually change behaviour? In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Sunny Lu, Founder and CEO of VeChain, to unpack how blockchain can move sustainability from theory into action across global supply chains and everyday decisions. Sunny has been building in blockchain since 2015, long before the hype cycles, starting with enterprise t...
Send me a message Freight is one of the biggest sources of supply chain emissions — so why is it still treated as an afterthought? In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Jared Spude, Vice President of Enterprise Solutions at Breakthrough, to unpack why freight has become sustainability’s blind spot — and why that’s now a resilience risk no supply chain leader can ignore. Jared has spent over a decade working at the intersection of freight, fuel, and sustainabilit...
Send me a message What if the biggest threat to your supply chain isn’t a typhoon, strike, or cyberattack, but a mistyped HS code? This week I’m joined by Yeelen Knegtering, Co-Founder and CEO of Klippa, a company tackling one of the most underestimated risks in global trade: the explosion of paperwork, compliance demands, and manual processes that quietly delay planes, stall ships, burn carbon, and drain margin. With regulations tightening and documentation growing faster than teams can mana...
Send me a message What if the biggest risk in your supply chain isn’t geopolitical shocks or new regulations, but the data you trust every single day? This week, I’m joined by Andy Kohm, co-founder and CEO of SCIP, a supply chain intelligence platform built to clean, connect, and operationalise data across ERPs, PLMs, control towers, and the spreadsheets nobody admits to using. Andy has spent more than a decade wrestling with the messy reality of supply chain data, and his insights couldn’t b...
