Description

The Resilient Supply Chain Podcast is where global leaders tackle the future of supply chains, and how to make them stronger, smarter, and more sustainable.
Hosted by Tom Raftery, technology evangelist, sustainability thought-leader, and former SAP Global VP, the show features C-suite executives, founders, and innovators from across the world’s most influential companies. Together, we explore how organisations are building supply chains that can withstand shocks, adapt to change, and lead in a decarbonising economy.
Every Monday at 7 a.m. CET, new episodes drop - packed with real insights, not PR fluff.
From supply chain resilience and risk mitigation to AI-driven visibility, circular design, and ESG transformation, we unpack the data, systems, and strategies shaping global operations.
You’ll hear from the people actually doing the work - the ones leading on:
  • Business continuity and crisis response
  • Scope 3 emissions and supply chain sustainability
  • Digital twins and predictive resilience
  • Ethical sourcing and due diligence compliance
  • Nearshoring, automation, and future-ready logistics
Because a supply chain can’t be sustainable unless it’s resilient, and it can’t be resilient unless it’s sustainable.

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...
Send me a message What happens to your supply chain when it gets too hot for workers to show up? In this episode I’m joined by Kevin Vranes, Chief Product Officer at Worldly, a platform working with tens of thousands of suppliers to generate real sustainability intelligence across global supply chains. We dig into why climate exposure, labour disruption, tightening disclosure rules, and escalating NGO scrutiny are converging into one of the biggest resilience challenges companies have ever fa...
Send me a message What if 70–95% of your emissions sit on farms you’ve never even seen? And what happens to your supply chain when those farms face depleted soils, rising costs, and climate shocks all at once? In this episode, I’m joined by Rhyannon Galea and Kristjan Luha from eAgronom, a team helping thousands of farmers across Europe shift to regenerative practices and generate the credible primary data food companies now need for Scope 3 reporting. We dig into why agriculture remains the ...
Send me a message What if your supply chain could spot a breakdown before it happened? In this episode of The Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Taylor Smith, Chief Marketing Officer at Honeywell Productivity Solutions and Services, and Elton Saunders, Senior Director of Solutions and Services at Peak Technologies. Together, we explore how AI, data, and proactive maintenance are transforming resilience, from the warehouse floor to the C-suite. You’ll hear how leading manufacturers ...
Send me a message In this debut episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I chat with Rich Savoie, Co-founder and CEO of Adiona, about how data-driven optimisation and electric fleets are transforming last-mile logistics. Rich’s work with giants like Coca-Cola and Australia Post proves that sustainability and resilience aren’t trade-offs, they’re multipliers. You’ll hear how Adiona’s algorithms cut drive time by nearly half, reduced trucks by 15%, and delivered major emissions savings, a...
Send me a message What if your fleet could drive further, burn less fuel, and cut emissions, all without adding a single new vehicle? In this final episode under the Sustainable Supply Chain name (before we evolve into the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast next week), I sit down with Naeem Bari, Chief Product Officer and Co-founder of Linxup, to explore how telematics is transforming small- and medium-sized fleets into powerhouses of efficiency, safety, and sustainability. You’ll hear how Linxup...
Send me a message In this week’s episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Jamie Barsimantov, VP of Supply Chain Strategy at Sphera, to explore what it really means to build a sustainable, resilient, and data-driven supply chain in 2025. Jamie brings a fascinating perspective, from his early days as an environmental researcher to founding SupplyShift and now helping global enterprises at Sphera manage sustainability and operational risk at scale. We discuss why sustainabi...
Send me a message In this week’s episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sit down with Jackie Wu, CEO and co-founder of Corvus Robotics, to explore how AI and autonomous drones are redefining inventory management, and what that means for the future of supply chain resilience. Most warehouses today still rely on people with barcode scanners trudging up and down aisles, a slow, error-prone, and frankly unsustainable process. Jackie’s team has built the world’s first fully autonomous ...
Send me a message In this week’s episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sat down with Ollie Taylor, Founder & Director of Marine Futures, to talk about one of the toughest nuts to crack in sustainability, decarbonising the marine industry. Boats, big or small, don’t often top climate discussions, yet their materials, manufacturing, and fuel use carry a hefty footprint. Ollie explains how Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) can reveal the true environmental cost of marine products, from...
