The Logistics Tribe Folgen

It's hard to find Shippers that didn't get burnt by skyrocketing freight rates in the last 3 years. And high freight rate volatility is likely here to stay. The US-based startup ZenHedge is working on a fintech-based insurance solution that promises to offer peace of mind by protecting shippers from the financial impact of tender rejection, freight rate volatility, and other supply chain disruptions - risks that were once hard to “hedge" against. Our host Jonah McIntire sat down with Krishnan Kandasamy, CEO and Founder of ZenHedge, to dig deep into the world of risk management for the transportation industry. A lot to learn here. Enjoy!

Radu Palamariu from Alcott Global and Knut Alicke from McKinsey are two influential thinkers on the topic of supply chain leadership. In this episode of The Logistics Tribe, Radu, Knut and our host Boris Felgendreher explore how the last few years in particular have elevated the function of supply chain inside many organizations around the world. But how can supply chain leaders actually capitalize on this development and permanently secure supply chain management's seat in the boardroom as well as paving their own potential career path into the CEO role? This episode of The Logistics Tribe is a "must-listen-to" for any ambitious supply chain leader. Radu and Knut also recently published a book on the topic called "From Source To Sold". It features stories of leadership in supply chain and is a highly recommended read.
