Supply chains are being pushed to move faster while
geopolitical volatility makes traditional planning cycles
increasingly fragile for global enterprises. In this episode,
Edmund Zagorin, Founding Chief Strategy Officer at Arkestro, and
Mike Shin, Chief Supply Chain Officer at Trinity Rail Industries,
join Daniel Faggella, Emerj CEO and Head of Research, to examine
how proactive, data‑driven procurement models help organizations
balance cost, capacity, and continuity under these conditions. They
highlight how offer‑driven sourcing, automated contract
intelligence, and supplier‑alternative discovery shorten decision
cycles, surface hidden risks, and strengthen collaboration across
procurement and supply chain teams. This episode is sponsored by
