Resilient Supply Chain — How Leaders Keep Business Moving
Resilient Supply Chain is for supply chain, operations, procurement and technology leaders who need practical ways to manage disruption, reduce risk and keep business moving. Each Monday, former SAP Global VP and technology futurist Tom Raftery speaks with the executives, operators, founders and innovators redesigning how goods, information and decisions move through global supply chains. These are candid conversations about what works in practice—not polished PR narratives or vague predictions. Guests explain how they are responding to supplier failures, geopolitical shocks, volatile costs, capacity constraints, changing regulations and rising pressure to improve both performance and sustainability. The podcast examines: Faster planning and decision-making under uncertainty Supplier risk, sourcing strategy and business continuity AI, automation, visibility and operational intelligence Warehousing, logistics and fulfilment performance Scope 3 emissions, circularity and responsible sourcing The systems, incentives and organisational changes needed to turn data into action The central question is simple: what helps a supply chain withstand disruption, adapt quickly and continue serving the business? New episodes are published every Monday at 7am CET. Resilient Supply Chain+ subscribers also receive bonus analysis, highlights and briefings on emerging industry trends. Follow Resilient Supply Chain for practical lessons from the people solving real operational problems—and building supply chains that perform when conditions do not go to plan.
Episodes
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 ...

In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Abe Eshkenazi, CEO of ASCM, the Association for Supply Chain Management.

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.

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 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...
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.

What if your biggest carbon win is not where your team is looking?

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.

The official podcast of comedian Joe Rogan.
There are celebrity interviews, and there are life-changing conversations. On Question Everything, you get both. Journalist Danielle Robay has a rare gift: she makes people feel safe + seen enough to tell the truth. Every week, she draws out the stories the world's most fascinating people rarely get to tell– the heartbreaks, the risks, the controversies, the beliefs they had to unlearn to become who they are and every now and then, their thoughts on the Bravoverse. You'll come for their story. You'll leave rethinking your own. -------- Danielle is also the creator of the bestselling QUESTION EVERYTHING card game series, which has sparked connection in thousands of living rooms around the world, and the co-executive producer and host of Bookmarked by Reese's Book Club, alongside Reese Witherspoon. Dubbed "The Queen of Questions," she brings both heart and rigor to every conversation — a background in political science, a Gloria Steinem Fellowship, and a mentorship under Larry King, whose legacy of curiosity and connection she's carried forward across more than 8,000 hours of interviews with icons from Taylor Swift to Malala Yousafzai.
