Listen Later

In this illuminating episode of The Freight Buyers Club Insight series, produced with the support of Ontegos Cloud (https://www.ontegos.cloud/), host Mike King sits down with Mads Drejer, Global CCO and COO of Scan Global Logistics, for a wide-ranging discussion on freight markets and modern logistics leadership.

From navigating tariff wars to embracing what Drejer calls our new state of "permacrisis," the conversation offers unique insights into how global trade has become more resilient amid constant disruption. Drejer shares SGL's distinctive approach to growth and technology, explaining why the company puts people before automation and "customer obsession" ahead of "competition obsession”.

The discussion covers everything from the Red Sea crisis and changing carrier alliances to why logistics has finally "moved into the boardroom" post-COVID. Drejer also offers a refreshingly optimistic take on the future, arguing for a balance between technological advancement and human expertise, while explaining why the industry must adapt to attract and retain younger talent.
