Shippers are increasingly looking for freight forwarders to drive more-resilient networks, which are under strain from risks in the Red Sea, low water levels in the Panama Canal, port labor negotiations and a trend toward derisking supply chains. In this Talking Transports podcast, DHL Forwarding’s CEO of the Americas Tim Robertson joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to discuss how DHL is positioning in a rapidly changing environment. A focus on high-growth segments like health care and small- to medium-sized shippers should fuel organic expansion at one of the largest forwarders. Robertson also talks about technology-fueled productivity investments, market consolidation, near-shoring trends and how a chance meeting got him into logistics.
