  #104: The 80X ROI Case for AI in Supply Chains with Uzair Bawany of Oii.ai

  Sep 11, 202628 minS1

  *Hosted by Andrei Palamariu* I’m joined by Uzair Bawany, CEO of Oii.ai, to explore what happens when AI moves beyond the hype and into the operational reality of global supply chains. Drawing on his experience scaling technology businesses and his work building Oii.ai, Uzair explains how probabilistic AI, digital twins, mathematical optimization, and agentic systems can help companies make smarter decisions around inventory, production, service levels, costs, and disruption. We unpack why the parameters behind supply chain planning matter so much, how AI can work alongside existing planning platforms, and why companies should focus on testing practical use cases rather than trying to transform everything at once. From an 82X ROI proof of value to optimizing beer production across 32 tanks, this conversation explores the tangible business impact AI can deliver when it is built around real supply chain problems.

  #103: The First Mile Advantage – with Nick Daly of Gravity Supply Chain

  Aug 20, 202626 minS1

  *Hosted by Andrei Palamariu* II’m joined by Nick Daly, COO of Gravity Supply Chain, to explore one of the most overlooked parts of global supply chains: the first mile. Drawing on his experience on the operations side of logistics and sourcing, Nick explains why risks often emerge 60 to 120 days before a shipment reaches the port of origin, and why seeing them early can completely change the decisions teams are able to make. We discuss factory-level visibility, proactive decision-making, supplier performance, hidden “shadow economies,” change management, AI-powered exception handling, and the limits of autonomous decision-making. At its core, this is a conversation about moving supply chains from reacting to problems to seeing them early enough to do something about them. Discover more details here.

  #102: Global Supply Chains Built for Constant Disruption – with Mitat Aydindag of Arvato

  Aug 12, 202623 min

  *Hosted by Andrei Palamariu* Mitat Aydindag has built a global leadership career across Europe, Asia, and North America, leading supply chain transformation and logistics operations before becoming President of the Global Tech Vertical at Arvato. In this episode, he shares why supply chain volatility has become a permanent business reality and why resilience is now a competitive advantage rather than simply a cost. We explore how leading technology companies are moving beyond AI pilots toward enterprise-wide workflows, why supply chain visibility is evolving into orchestration, and how Arvato is investing in automation, robotics, and data center logistics to support high-growth industries. Mithat also discusses Arvato's capability-led acquisition strategy, lessons from scaling global operations for fast-growing technology brands, and why accountability, entrepreneurial thinking, and leadership are essential for building resilient supply chains in an increasingly unpredictable world.

  #101: The End of Traditional Supply Chain Planning – with Torsten Pilz of Counterpoint Labs

  Jul 15, 202626 minS1

  *Hosted by Andrei Palamariu* Torsten Pilz has spent more than three decades leading global supply chains at companies including Honeywell, 3M, SpaceX, Amazon, and Henkel before founding CounterPoint Labs. In this episode, he shares why he believes traditional supply chain planning is becoming obsolete and how AI-native technologies are enabling autonomous, self-healing supply chains. We explore why companies often get stuck in endless AI pilots, the biggest barriers to digital transformation, and how manufacturers can modernize operations by connecting fragmented systems, data, and decision-making. Torsten also explains why leadership commitment, not technology is the true differentiator in successful AI transformations, and why the future belongs to organizations that move beyond planning toward continuous, autonomous operations.
