Global supply chains have become more complex as companies prioritize resilience over efficiency and diversify sourcing beyond single-country strategies. In this episode of the Talking Transports podcast, DHL Global Forwarding CEO Oscar de Bok joins Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst Lee Klaskow to discuss how geopolitical disruptions, shifting trade flows and increasing regulatory complexity are reshaping global logistics. De Bok explains how supply chains have evolved from “just in time” to “just in case,” driving demand for greater flexibility, customs expertise and trade-compliance support. He also discusses tight airfreight capacity, evolving ocean-freight dynamics and DHL’s investments in AI and automation to improve pricing, customs processing and route optimization. The conversation highlights why supply-chain agility has become a critical competitive advantage in an increasingly unpredictable global economy.
