  Talking Supply Chain: Cleo CEO Mahesh Rajasekharan on why orchestration is supply chain’s next frontier

  Aug 6, 202638 minS2

  Supply chain leaders have invested billions in visibility platforms, automation and AI. Yet many organizations continue to struggle with execution, revenue leakage and increasingly complex operations. On this episode of Talking Supply Chain, Brian Straight speaks with Mahesh Rajasekharan, president and CEO of Cleo, about the findings from the company’s 2026 Global Supply Chain Executive Report and why supply chain orchestration is emerging as the next competitive differentiator. The discussion explores how leading organizations are moving beyond resilience, redefining supply chain performance and using AI to connect planning with execution rather than simply automating individual tasks.

  Jul 23, 202645 minS1

  The rapid growth of the secondhand economy is forcing logistics providers to rethink how supply chains are designed. While traditional transportation networks have been optimized for speed, efficiency and automation, oversized, one-of-a-kind products require a different approach—one centered on care, transparency and customer expectations. In this episode of Talking Supply Chain, Brian Straight speaks with Sean Wu, CEO of uShip , about the rise of recommerce, the logistics challenges of moving unique items and why digital marketplaces are making nationwide resale more accessible than ever.

  Talking Supply Chain: The state of US reindustrialization

  Jul 16, 202643 minS1

  Six months after first discussing the possibility of a U.S. manufacturing renaissance, Talking Supply Chain host Brian Straight welcomes Brian Higgins, U.S. sector leader for industrial manufacturing at KPMG , back to the Talking Supply Chain podcast to assess what has changed. While investment in domestic manufacturing continues to grow, Higgins argues that the real challenge has shifted from announcing projects to executing them. The conversation explores how tariffs, geopolitical instability, labor shortages, AI adoption and supply chain resilience are reshaping manufacturing strategy, while emphasizing that success will depend less on predicting disruption and more on building organizations capable of sensing and responding faster than competitors.

  Talking Supply Chain: The Strait of Hormuz is open, but normal is not near

  Jun 25, 202650 minS2

  The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is welcome news for global supply chains, but according to Eric Fullerton, vice president of data insights at project44 , the industry’s focus should not be on returning to normal. Instead, supply chain leaders should be asking what they learned from the disruption and how they can build more resilient operations before the next crisis arrives. In a recent episode of Talking Supply Chain, Fullerton joined Supply Chain Management Review Editor-in-Chief Brian Straight to discuss project44’s data on shipment diversions, port congestion, supply chain recovery, and what separates organizations that successfully navigate disruptions from those that struggle.

  Talking Supply Chain: Building the Supply Biome

  Jun 18, 202636 minS2

  For decades, supply chains were managed as a series of interconnected but largely independent functions. Planning, sourcing, manufacturing, logistics, and fulfillment each operated with their own objectives, metrics, and decision-making processes. But according to Graeme Carter, chief global supply chain officer at Coty , that model is no longer sufficient in a world defined by volatility, geopolitical uncertainty, rapidly changing consumer preferences, and accelerating digital transformation. On this episode of Talking Supply Chain, Carter introduces the concept of the “Supply Biome”—an adaptive, interconnected ecosystem that continuously senses signals from across the business environment and responds in near real time. Drawing on leadership experience at Coty, Amazon, Unilever, Avon, and Procter & Gamble, Carter explains why supply chains must evolve beyond linear processes and siloed functions toward operating models enabled by AI, collective sensing, and integrated decision-making.
