Optimizing the Supply Chain: Private Equity, Automation, and Economic Indicators in Logistics with Chris Jamroz
This episode is a fascinating deep dive into the complex
world of logistics. Our guest is Chris Jamroz, CEO of Roadrunner, a serial logistics entrepreneur who has indeed seen and done it all over his career.
Chris provides colorful anecdotes about his past 100+
acquisitions and turnarounds, including the challenges and lessons learned along the way. He then gives listeners an up-close look at his current ventures - Roadrunner, an LTL shipping company known for its blazing-fast delivery speeds, and Global X, a rapidly growing charter airline.
The wide-ranging discussion touches on how the pandemic disrupted global supply chains and the "nearshoring" trend of moving manufacturing closer to home. Chris also shares insightful perspectives on economic conditions, the potential and limitations of automated trucking, and the value private equity brings to facilitating turnarounds.
For those interested in alternative investments, Chris
even discusses how his family office allocates to areas like equipment leasing, real estate, and hedge funds. Overall, it's a very entertaining and educational podcast that provides a true insider's view of the logistics industry. SEND IT!
