Episode 104: From Satellites to Shipping – Terminal Innovation with Paul Albert-Lebrun
Guest: Paul Albert-Lebrun, Co-Founder & CEO of Nodal
Paul joins us to explore how his aerospace background helped shape Nodal, a company creating a data assistant for terminal operators. We talk empathy in product design, the stubbornness of Excel, and the realities of bringing AI into complex operational environments.
In this episode:
- What satellite operations taught Paul about physical infrastructure
- Why tech needs to meet maritime where it is — not replace it
- Lessons from inside the terminal operator’s office (yes, they’re tired of dashboards)
- How Nodal helps connect siloed data across platforms
- Fundraising in a shifting geopolitical landscape
