Altana Directions Summit

Amazing Directions Summit in New York City today arranged by our partner Altana with a full house in dialogue about AI in Customs & Supply Chains. A timely event with the recent tariff storm & increasing enforcement of ESG regulations, like the UFLPA.

I did a panel about Product Passports with Michael DeVitto from LLBean & Aaron Libbey from Altana. Great conversation.

Altana CEO, Evan Smith & former U.S. Commerce Secretary and Governor of Rhode Island, Gina Raimondo, kicked off the Summit.
