  No Carbon Data, No Market Access: Supply Chains Face a New Rule 27.07.2026 35min

  Send me a message Carbon data is moving out of annual reports and into the transaction itself. If your product-level information is incomplete, market access, customer trust and supply-chain decisions can all suffer. My guest is Stephen Jamieson, Chief Marketing Officer for SAP Sustainability. We examine why Scope 3 emissions, digital product passports and product carbon footprints are becoming operational requirements, not side projects, and what happens when procurement, finance and supply-...

  Supply Chain Mapping Takes Five Seconds. Action Is the Hard Part 20.07.2026 37min

  Send me a message Supply-chain mapping can now take five seconds. The harder problem is deciding which supplier risks matter, who owns the response, and whether procurement can act before the data creates paralysis. I’m joined by Justin Dillon, founder and CEO of FRDM, whose work focuses on human-rights, geopolitical and sustainability risk beyond tier one. As import restrictions, tariffs and customer requirements reach deeper into supplier networks, weak due diligence is no longer just a com...

  Why an Autonomous Truck Won’t Automate Your Yard 13.07.2026 42min

  Send me a message An autonomous truck does not create an autonomous yard. Without aligned decisions, reliable data and clear ownership, smart assets become expensive distractions. I’m joined by Matt Yearling, CEO of YMX Logistics; Chad Fox, Manager and Delivery Lead at Miebach Consulting; and Kurt Neutgens, CEO and co-founder of Orange EV. Together, we examine why supply chain resilience still breaks down in the yard — a neglected part of logistics that can disrupt warehouse flow, transport p...

  AI in Procurement: When ERP Is Too Late 06.07.2026 46min

  Send me a message What if your ERP only sees the supplier decision after the real battle is already over? In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Spencer Penn, CEO and co-founder of LightSource, a direct procurement AI platform. Spencer brings a practical view from high-pressure hardware and autonomous systems environments, and we look at why procurement, data, visibility, and supplier risk now sit right at the heart of supply chain resilience. You’ll hear how dir...

  Why Small Fulfilment Exceptions Become Big Supply Chain Problems 29.06.2026 41min

  Send me a message How many fulfilment failures start as “just this once” exceptions? In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Leo Rodriguez, VP at River Plate Inc., a Southern California 3PL working across e-commerce, retail, warehousing, distribution, freight logistics, kitting, and assembly. We look at fulfilment through the lens of supply chain resilience, risk, data, visibility, and the operational discipline brands need as channels multiply and complexity rise...

  The Hidden Risk in Critical Mineral Supply Chains 22.06.2026 41min

  Send me a message How much do we really know about the minerals powering the energy transition? In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Johan Oosthuizen, a responsible sourcing specialist based in South Africa, working across mining, operations, supply chain governance, and regulatory due diligence. His perspective matters because he works in the uncomfortable gap between boardroom expectations and site-level reality, which is exactly where supply chain resilience...

  Why Supply Chain Agility Is Now a Competitive Advantage 15.06.2026 36min

In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Abe Eshkenazi, CEO of ASCM, the Association for Supply Chain Management. Abe has watched supply chain move from a quiet back-office function to a boardroom priority, and this conversation gets into why that shift matters now, as export controls, tariffs, climate volatility, cybersecurity, sustainability pressures, and ...

  The 5-Point EBITDA Opportunity in Reverse Logistics 08.06.2026 40min

  Send me a message What if returns are hiding 4–5 points of EBITDA in plain sight? In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Terry Boyle, CEO of Trove, to explore one of retail and logistics’ most neglected pressure points: reverse logistics. Terry’s argument is blunt and useful: if brands care about supply chain resilience, sustainability, risk, data, and visibility, they can’t keep treating returns as the untidy corner nobody wants to inspect. You’ll hear how onlin...

  Supply Chain Resilience Fails When Decisions Move Too Slowly 01.06.2026 36min

  Send me a message What if your biggest supply chain risk isn’t disruption, but the time it takes to decide what to do next? In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Robbert de Looff, Industry Commercial Lead for Chemicals at OMP, to explore why supply chain resilience now depends on more than better forecasting. In a world of energy price spikes, shipping disruption, raw material constraints, sustainability pressures, and geopolitical shocks, visibility is useful, ...

  Why Yard Automation Is Harder Than Autonomous Trucking 25.05.2026 45min

  Send me a message Most supply chains talk about AI and automation. Meanwhile, many yards are still running on pen, paper, radio calls, and chaos. In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Adam Newsome, CEO of Lazer Logistics, Blaine Dirker, CTO at Lazer and leader of Yard Nexus, and Pini Usha, CEO of Buffers AI, to unpack one of the most overlooked bottlenecks in modern logistics: the yard. And this matters far more than most companies realise. We explore why yard o...

  When Critical Software Becomes a Supply Chain Risk 18.05.2026 38min

  Send me a message What happens when the software your business depends on simply disappears? In this episode of Resilient Supply Chain, I’m joined by Wayne Scott, GRC Solutions Lead at Escode, the world’s largest source code and cloud escrow provider. We talk about a risk hiding in plain sight: critical software, SaaS platforms, and cloud services that businesses depend on every day, but may not be able to keep running if a supplier fails. You’ll hear how supplier risk is shifting from a proc...

  AI in Supply Chain: Automation Is Not Autonomy 11.05.2026 39min

  Send me a message Can AI make better supply chain decisions, or just make bad ones faster? In this episode of Resilient Supply Chain, I’m joined by Simon Bezrukov, Chief AI Officer at Bristlecone, for a grounded conversation about AI in supply chain, resilience, risk, data, visibility, and the uncomfortable bit nobody likes to put on the first slide: accountability. Simon’s core point is sharp: AI agents are great at doing the paperwork of decisions, but they’re not yet great at owning the co...

  Why Cross-Border Logistics Has No Spare Days Left 04.05.2026 37min

  Send me a message If one jammed parcel can cost you a day, what does that say about your supply chain visibility? In this episode of Resilient Supply Chain, I’m joined by James Edge, CEO of Landmark Global, the cross-border e-commerce logistics arm of Bnode Group. James works right at the messy intersection of logistics, tariffs, customs, data, visibility, final mile, and customer expectations. In other words, all the quiet machinery that makes global shopping feel simple. Until it doesn’t. Y...

In this episode of Resilient Supply Chain, I’m joined by John Beath, CEO and Chief Technical Director of John Beath Environmental. John brings a process engineer’s eye to sustainability, which means fewer slogans and far more practical questions about supply chain resilience, risk, data, visibility, and what actually moves the emissions number. You’ll hear how companies often spend huge effort on visible fixe...

  The Logistics Blind Spot Hurting Cost, Service, and Emissions 20.04.2026 38min

  Send me a message What if your supply chain isn’t underperforming, you just can’t see it clearly enough? Cost, service, and emissions all suffer when logistics data is fragmented. In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain podcast, I’m joined by Constantine Komodromos, founder of VesselBot, to explore a problem hiding in plain sight: most companies still don’t have a single, real-time view of their logistics operations. And in a world of tariff shocks, geopolitical disruption, and rising p...

  Poor Supply Chain Emissions Data Could Cost You More 13.04.2026 30min

  Send me a message What happens when weak carbon data stops being a reporting problem and starts raising your cost of capital? Because that’s no longer hypothetical. It’s starting to hit financing, insurance, and risk in the real world. In this episode, I’m joined by Cynthia Lai, former banker, executive coach, and board advisor, with nearly 20 years’ experience in tier-one banking, including HSBC and Bank of China. We dig into why this matters now for supply chain resilience, sustainability, ...
• 
  Why the Ceasefire Won’t Fix Supply Chain Risk 10.04.2026 16min

  Send me a message A ceasefire is in place, so why are supply chains still under pressure? Because a half-open chokepoint can be harder to manage than a fully closed one. In this second bonus episode of Resilient Supply Chain+, I break down what the war on Iran means for supply chain resilience, sustainability, risk, data, and visibility over the next 6-12 months. This isn’t about headline panic. It’s about what happens when disruption becomes friction, when shipping is still moving but at hig...

  Why More Robots Don’t Always Fix Warehouse Performance 06.04.2026 37min

  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...

  Supply Chain Transformation Isn’t Failing Because of Technology 30.03.2026 29min

  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...

  Fuel, Freight, Fertiliser: The Iran War’s Supply Chain Cost 27.03.2026 18min

  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.
