  #102: Global Supply Chains Built for Constant Disruption – with Mitat Aydindag of Arvato

  Aug 12, 202623 min

  *Hosted by Andrei Palamariu* Mitat Aydindag has built a global leadership career across Europe, Asia, and North America, leading supply chain transformation and logistics operations before becoming President of the Global Tech Vertical at Arvato. In this episode, he shares why supply chain volatility has become a permanent business reality and why resilience is now a competitive advantage rather than simply a cost. We explore how leading technology companies are moving beyond AI pilots toward enterprise-wide workflows, why supply chain visibility is evolving into orchestration, and how Arvato is investing in automation, robotics, and data center logistics to support high-growth industries. Mithat also discusses Arvato's capability-led acquisition strategy, lessons from scaling global operations for fast-growing technology brands, and why accountability, entrepreneurial thinking, and leadership are essential for building resilient supply chains in an increasingly unpredictable world.

  #101: The End of Traditional Supply Chain Planning – with Torsten Pilz of Counterpoint Labs

  Jul 15, 202626 minS1

  *Hosted by Andrei Palamariu* Torsten Pilz has spent more than three decades leading global supply chains at companies including Honeywell, 3M, SpaceX, Amazon, and Henkel before founding CounterPoint Labs. In this episode, he shares why he believes traditional supply chain planning is becoming obsolete and how AI-native technologies are enabling autonomous, self-healing supply chains. We explore why companies often get stuck in endless AI pilots, the biggest barriers to digital transformation, and how manufacturers can modernize operations by connecting fragmented systems, data, and decision-making. Torsten also explains why leadership commitment, not technology is the true differentiator in successful AI transformations, and why the future belongs to organizations that move beyond planning toward continuous, autonomous operations.

  Episode #99

  #99: Transforming Supply Chain Workflows with Agentic AI – with Harish Abbott of Augment

  Jun 18, 202633 minS1

  *Hosted by Andrei Palamariu* Harish Abbott has built his career around solving some of the most complex challenges in logistics and supply chain operations, from architecting systems at Amazon to founding and scaling multiple successful technology companies. In this episode, he explains how Augment is building AI teammates and agentic AI workflows that manage the constant stream of emails, calls, texts, and operational decisions that drive global supply chains. We explore why information delays create waste, what it takes to deploy agentic AI in mission-critical environments, and why deep industry context is essential for delivering meaningful productivity gains. Harish shares real-world examples across transportation, freight brokerage, and distribution, where AI is improving shipment visibility, automating carrier sourcing, and helping sales teams focus on relationships instead of manual data entry. We also discuss the importance of change management, the role of guardrails in enterprise AI systems, and the evolution from predefined workflows to self-learning agents that adapt to people, suppliers, and business processes over time. This is a deep dive into the future of supply chain execution, where AI is becoming a trusted teammate rather than just another software tool. Discover more details here.

  Episode #98

  #98: Connecting the Supply Chain Ecosystem Beyond the Four Walls with Tim Srock of Lobster

  May 19, 202635 minS1

  *Hosted by Andrei Palamariu* Tim Srock, CEO of Lobster, joins me to discuss how companies can connect their supply chain ecosystems by addressing the critical middle layer of data integration. In this episode, we explore why 80% of critical supply chain data actually lives outside a company's internal systems—residing instead with suppliers, carriers, and 3PLs. Tim shares Lobster's journey from a horizontal IPaaS provider to a specialized supply chain platform executing over 30 billion workflows a year. We dive into the massive shift from optimizing supply chains for cost to optimizing for resilience and regulatory compliance in Europe. Tim also breaks down practical success stories, like how Deichmann achieved 90% savings on data exchange workflows and how Lindt improved their cold chain logistics. Finally, we discuss the realistic application of agentic AI in a deterministic logistics environment, emphasizing the need for structured data foundations and keeping the "human in the loop".
