THE CAST

Meet Your
Cast.

Three voices. Three worlds. One desk where supply chain gets real.

01
CO-ANCHOR · OPERATIONS

Diane Russo

Diane grew up in Toledo, Ohio, in a family where logistics wasn't a buzzword — it was the shift you worked. She spent two decades climbing from freight coordinator to regional director of operations, learning the hard way that a flawless spreadsheet means nothing if a snowstorm hits the I-80 corridor or a port strike locks up your containers. She brings the operational gut instinct that no algorithm can replace.

02
CO-ANCHOR · TECHNOLOGY

Julian Desai

Julian grew up in San Jose watching his parents' import-export business collapse — not because of a bad product, but because of analog tracking, blind spots in transit, and poor inventory forecasting. He studied Supply Chain Analytics and Computer Science at Stanford, built predictive routing algorithms, and brings the technology lens to every conversation. He sees legacy systems as existential threats, not inconveniences.

GUEST EXPERIENCE LEAD

Camille Sinclair

Camille is the daughter of a civil rights attorney and a high school principal. She built a career in corporate communications and executive coaching, serving as Chief of Staff for two Fortune 500 logistics CEOs. She realized the supply chain industry was full of brilliant operational geniuses who were terrible at advocating for themselves. She's the one who makes sure every guest on this show gets heard.
