This episode of Supply Chain Now features Tracy Hansen, Paul Günther, and Justin Griffith. Tracy Hansen leads the company’s global marketing strategy. She brings 20 years of marketing and executive leadership, having worked with top global companies like NetApp and Tealium to launch strategies that advance organizational vision, accelerate business transformation, and influence customer behaviors. She focuses on disruptive innovation, championing ideas that stretch boundaries, and mobilizing teams to deliver business value.

Paul Günther is Founder & Product Engineer at Proglove, the Munich-based company created in December 2014 by former BMW and IDEO employees. After winning at the Intel “Make It Wearable” Challenge the company applied its human-centered design approach to the commercial deployment of a wearable barcode scanner which now counts more than 500 customers in logistics, transportation, manufacturing, retail, and healthcare and has the backing of growth-focused investors including Summit Partners, DICP, and Bayern Capital.

Justin Griffith is the CTO of StayLinked and is responsible for driving StayLinked’s overall product roadmap and strategy.

In 2017, Griffith conceptualized and directed the implementation of the industry’s first Terminal Emulation hardware automation framework. His guiding principle—to always remember the human element—has reinforced StayLinked’s reputation as an innovator in helping companies move to new technologies and optimize productivity.
