This week, Rachael talks to Kate who works in supply chain in the innovation team for a leading confectionary brand. They discuss why an effective supply chain is critical in being able to launch new products quickly and what it’s like working for a large company vs a start-up. She also talks us through what she loves about her role and what skills are important such as managing ambiguity. As well as what options there are in getting into supply chain apart from just doing a graduate scheme.
