Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars from 28 ratings
  • Interesting regardless of your Supply Chain knowledge

    I have been listening to this podcast as part of its editing team and I have virtually no background in the Supply Chain realm. Surprisingly, I have enjoyed each podcast due to the host’s (Ellen Wood) vast knowledge bank, professionalism, and ability to connect, not seemingly disparate concepts, but most importantly, with her guests. And I can confirm that the production team is top notch. 10/10 would recommend.
