The Resilient Supply Chain Podcast is where global leaders explore how to make supply chains stronger, smarter, and more sustainable.
Hosted by Tom Raftery, technology evangelist, sustainability thought-leader, and former SAP Global VP, the show features C-suite executives, founders, and innovators from some of the world’s most influential companies. Together, we examine how organisations are building supply chains that can withstand shocks, adapt to change, and compete in a decarbonising economy.
New episodes drop every Monday at 7 a.m. CET, packed with real insight, not PR fluff.
From resilience and risk mitigation to AI-driven visibility, circular design, and ESG transformation, the podcast unpacks the data, systems, and strategies shaping global operations.
You’ll hear from the people doing the work on:
- business continuity and crisis response
- Scope 3 emissions and supply chain sustainability
- digital twins and predictive resilience
- ethical sourcing and due diligence compliance
- nearshoring, automation, and future-ready logistics
Because a supply chain can’t be sustainable unless it’s resilient, and it can’t be resilient unless it’s sustainable.

What if your supply chain isn’t underperforming, you just can’t see it clearly enough? Cost, service, and emissions all suffer when logistics data is fragmented.
In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain podcast, I’m joined by Constantine Komodromos, founder of VesselBot, to explore a problem hiding in plain sight: most companies still don’t have a single, real-time view of their logistics operations. And in a world of tariff shocks, geopolitical disruption, and rising pressure around sustainability and resilience, that lack of visibility is no longer a technical nuisance. It’s a strategic risk.
We dig into why historical averages and patchy reporting can distort transport decisions, and why better data visibilitycan change far more than emissions reporting. You’ll hear how granular, shipment-level insight can uncover outdated contracts, low truck and container utilisation, and operational waste that quietly drives up both cost and carbon. We break down why supply chain resilience increasingly depends on seeing cost to serve, time to serve, and emissions to serve in one place, not across disconnected systems and spreadsheets.
You might be surprised to learn that some of the biggest wins don’t come from grand sustainability initiatives at all, but from spotting simple inefficiencies hidden inside day-to-day logistics. This is a conversation about sustainability, yes, but also about risk, decision-making, and the competitive advantage that comes from finally seeing your operations as they really are.
🎙️ Listen now to hear how Constantine Komodromos and VesselBot are challenging old assumptions about supply chain resilience, logistics visibility, sustainability, and data-driven decision-making.
Interestingly, the sharpest twist in this episode is that better emissions data turns out to be less about reporting, and more about exposing management blind spots.
