Gustavo L Ghory, expert in supply chain with vast experience in the consumer goods industry, where he served in top executive roles at Procter and Gamble and Kimberly-Clark, has explored this concept with strong conviction that supply chain diplomacy can deliver supply effectiveness in adversity.

Lionel Fatton, PhD respected professor and researcher, focused on the Indo-Pacific region’s military affairs and security dynamics and shares his perspective on how supply chain and geopolitical tensions interact. 

Ana Calvo and Camilo Valderrama, medical doctors in public health and humanitarian aid, visiting professors at University Rosario in Bogota, with 30 years of experience working with refugees in conflict zones, share examples of the effect of war on supply chain.

Recent history shows the need to strengthen supply chain capabilities to enable supply effectiveness when facing unexpected interruptions and continuing geopolitical changes.

The podcast coins the concept of supply chain diplomacy as a new discipline that provides a set of tools and new capabilities emerging from studying the interception of supply chains, diplomacy, and geopolitics.
