ISM-Philadelphia: Virtual Lunch & Learn
Blind Spots: Uncovering Hidden Risks in Modern Logistics
Complex and often invisible risks are reshaping the transportation and logistics landscape—leaving supply chain leaders exposed to costly, fast-moving threats.
In this virtual session, industry trailblazer LeAnne Coulter, CEO & Founder of BlueWave Supply Chain and former executive leader at Penske Logistics and Schneider National, will uncover the hidden vulnerabilities many organizations overlook. From freight fraud and emerging theft rings to skyrocketing carrier insurance costs, nuclear verdicts, regulatory pitfalls, and contract blind spots, attendees will learn how unseen weaknesses in their logistics networks can escalate into major organizational liabilities. Drawing from three decades of hands-on leadership transforming global transportation networks, LeAnne will highlight actionable strategies for risk mitigation, visibility enhancement, compliance alignment, and multi-tier supplier monitoring.
This engaging session equips procurement and supply management professionals with the practical tools needed to strengthen resilience, protect their operations, and stay ahead of rising uncertainty.
