A SEAT at THE TABLE: Leadership, Innovation & Vision for a New Era
2025 has gotten off to what might generously be described as an ‘uncertain start'.The one thing people want right now is clarity. Or at least some idea of what might be the next impact on supply chains.One of the most consistent issues facing sourcing directors and supply chain managers has been logistics.After years of unprecedented disruptions, logistics could be the one blessing in an increasingly chaotic sourcing landscape.To get an insider's view of what we might expect to see this year, I sat down with Zvi Schreiber, founder and CEO of Freightos, the leading digital booking platform for the air and ocean freight industry.In addition to founding Freigtos, Zvi is a recognized LogTech leader. He previously was CEO of Lightech (acquired by GE), and of Unicorn (acquired by IBM). Zvi holds a PhD in computer science and is author of Fizz, the history of physics in a novel, and of Money, Going out of Style, which explores money & economics.In this episode, Zvi will be sharing his insights on:- The impact on air cargo that a removal of the de minimus exemption might have.- What could happen to ocean rates if carriers return to the Suez Canal.USEFUL LINKS:www.freightos.comthecurrentsituation.netLooking to be a podcast guest?

What is money? Why are trillions of dollars, euros, pounds, and yen being printed, but not spent, and what does this reveal about the state of our society? Money, as we know it, was born in 1971 when currencies unlinked from gold. During its adolescence, money was hyperactive, causing rampant inflation. Three decades of mature growth followed. But as it reaches the age of fifty, money is changing again, and facing a figurative mid-life crisis. Zvi Schreiber's book Money, Going Out of Style: The Story of Money and the Mystery of Its Decline (2021) first offers the reader a clear understanding of economics and the role of money, by following a fictional island tribe as they develop money and an ever more sophisticated economy. The book never forgets that money is secondary to the real economy of goods, services, and tools. Armed with this deeper appreciation of money and economics, the book returns to the present day to examine money's midlife crisis: the effect of rising inequality, the puzzle of near-zero interest rates, and how this is causing money to go out of style.

Freightos provides a freight-shipping marketplace that works much like a flight-booking website. Zvi Schreiber talks about why the freight shipping space remains largely un-digitized and how the visibility his digital platform has achieved has spun into financial derivatives and sustainability metrics. Ezra also gets into why Gesher I made sure early in its process that it lined up enough committed capital for its transaction, and what advice he has for other SPAC teams in the current climate.
Zvi Schreiber is a serial entrepreneur and founder of Freightos a digital platform that facilitates the booking of air cargo shipments.The idea for Freightos came up a few years ago when Zvi was managing a hardware firm that had to ship stuff from Asia to Europe and America and realized then that the process was far from smooth. When it comes to digitalization, the air cargo industry has lagged behind its passenger-carrying counterpart and this is precisely what Freightos and its Webcargo unit have set to fix.But besides this inspiring tale of disruption and entrepreneurship, we also talk more generally about the air freight industry, because this is an area of aviation that doesn't usually enjoy much public visibility.What are the processes involved in air cargo? Who are the different counterparties involved?And, very importantly, what have been the effects of covid and war in air logistics? Can air freight alleviate somehow the current strain that global supply chains are experiencing?Tune in for some great insights about the world of air cargo!
