About this Event
✅ Expect sharp insights, honest conversations, and the kind of networking that actually leads to something.
Join us for "Sustainable Supply Chain: Innovations for Business Transformation," an evening of real conversation with three people who've actually tackled these challenges at scale.
Temidayo Akenroye, Ph.D. - Supply Chain Professor at UMSL Supply Chain Analytics Center - bridges academia and real-world impact - he has published research on sustainable supply chains and designed interventions that connected over 20,000 smallholder farmers to supply contracts in Africa.
Eddie Cortadillo - Associate Director International Transportation and Customs at bioMérieux - manages the logistics that most supply chain conversations skip over: he's running international operations teams, navigating cold chain compliance, and keeping global distribution on track across continents.
Mayukh Ghosh - Global Continuous Improvement Director at Schneider Electric - has spent two decades driving transformation across global operations - including a 75% lift in supplier performance.
This isn't a panel of slides. It's a conversation with people who've built things, fixed things, and thought deeply about what comes next.
