Conversations with the leaders reshaping global supply chains
Resilient Supply Chain is my weekly conversation with the people transforming how the world moves, makes, stores, and delivers the things we depend on. In an era of constant disruption – geopolitical tension, climate risk, regulatory pressure, data fragmentation, labour challenges, and accelerating digitalisation, supply chains are no longer an invisible backbone. They’re where strategy, risk, sustainability, and competitiveness collide.
Each episode brings together executives, technologists, policymakers, researchers, and innovators who are pushing supply chains towards greater resilience, intelligence, transparency, and sustainability.
If you want to understand how modern supply chains actually work – and how leading organisations are preparing for the next decade of disruption, this podcast is for you.

What we explore on the show
Digital transformation & AI
How automation, AI agents, predictive analytics, and real-time decision systems are changing logistics, planning, and execution.
Transparency & traceability
Why organisations need clear, verifiable data about suppliers, materials, and social impacts — and how the best teams are getting it.
Sustainability & Scope 3
Emissions measurement, primary data, supplier engagement, circularity, and the regulatory push forcing companies to rethink value chains.
Logistics & fulfilment innovation
From last-mile orchestration to warehouse tech, multimodal transport, fleet optimisation, and intelligent routing.
Risk & resilience
Geopolitical shocks, extreme weather, cyber threats, single points of failure, financial risk, business continuity, and systemic fragility.
Human capital & organisational capability
The skills, culture, governance, and leadership required to build resilient, future-ready supply chains.
Featured conversations
- Rhyannon Galea & Kristjan Luha — eAgronom
- How food companies can finally access trustworthy, primary farm-level emissions data — and why Scope 3 transformation begins where visibility is currently weakest.
- Taylor Smith — Honeywell & Elton Saunders — Peak Tech
- What happens when industrial-scale operations and cutting-edge technology converge: digitised workflows, real-time visibility, and why resilience now depends on integrating data across every stage of the value chain.
- Matt Trubow — Co-Founder Simmerse / Hidden Ltd
- How immersive technology is eliminating dangerous site visits, transforming engineering communication, and reshaping onboarding, training, and safety across global operations.
- Saskia Van Gendt — Chief Sustainability Officer, Blue Yonder
- How global supply chains can decarbonise through intelligent planning, data-driven optimisation, and technology ecosystems that embed sustainability into day-to-day decision-making.
- Naeem Bari — Co-Founder Linxup
- Real-world telematics: why smarter fleet data cuts fuel, accelerates Scope 1 reductions, and gives operations teams the visibility they need to drive measurable sustainability outcomes.
