Resilient Supply Chain— stories and strategies that keep business moving

The Resilient Supply Chain Podcast is where global leaders explore how to make supply chains stronger, smarter, and more sustainable.
Hosted by Tom Raftery, technology evangelist, sustainability thought-leader, and former SAP Global VP, the show features C-suite executives, founders, and innovators from some of the world’s most influential companies. Together, we examine how organisations are building supply chains that can withstand shocks, adapt to change, and compete in a decarbonising economy.
New episodes drop every Monday at 7 a.m. CET, packed with real insight, not PR fluff.
From resilience and risk mitigation to AI-driven visibility, circular design, and ESG transformation, the podcast unpacks the data, systems, and strategies shaping global operations.
You’ll hear from the people doing the work on:
business continuity and crisis response
Scope 3 emissions and supply chain sustainability
digital twins and predictive resilience
ethical sourcing and due diligence compliance
nearshoring, automation, and future-ready logistics
Because a supply chain can’t be sustainable unless it’s resilient, and it can’t be resilient unless it’s sustainable.

Simon Bezrukov

Simon Bezrukov is Chief AI Officer at Bristlecone, where he helps organisations move AI from hype to measurable supply chain impact: better service, lower inventory, faster decisions, and more resilient operations.

With 25 years’ experience in analytics, technology innovation, operations research, simulation, digital twins, machine learning, and optimisation, Simon brings a deeply practical view of where AI works, where it does not, and where human judgement still matters.

In this episode, he cuts through the noise around agentic AI, LLMs, forecasting, and digital twins, arguing that real business value comes less from flashy algorithms and more from strong fundamentals, clear objectives, governance, and applied operations research.
