2021 has been one of the most turbulent years in history for Supply Chain. Across every company, every industry, every country, and every aspect of Supply Chain there has been some level of upheaval.
In some circumstances things are improving. In others, such as Chip shortages and Shipping Logistics, things seem to be only getting worse.
It is during these trying times when it’s important to hear from our best leaders. Here we have compiled a summary of our 2021 Seasoned Leadership in Action™ interviews.

Our first interview of the year was with Stephen Beard, VP at Flexe. Stephen was a former colleague of ours at ModusLink. He’s an inspiring leader with extremely broad experience in all aspects of Sales and Operations. Flexe delivers technology-powered omnichannel Logistics programs.
2. Will Chu, CEO at Vector
Our second interview is with Will Chu, CEO of Vector. Vector’s technology enables streamlined communication and greater transparency into the operations of Logistics and Field Services companies. And never before has the need for better communication and transparency in Logistics been stronger.
