Episode 39 - The key is in the buying

In this episode I talk to Soraya Karimi-Ghovanlou. Soraya is the supply chain director at Smithfield Foods.  Smithfield Foods is part of a global business that puts food (predominantly meat) on our dinner tables.  We talk about the challenges Smithfield foods has and still are facing due to Brexit and Covid and what effect this has had on prices for us as consumers. We are all aware that the cost of living is increasing and Soraya tells us some of the reasons why.  We talk about pivoting, the relationship between different departments in the business specifically the operations and finance of course and what is success.  Hope you enjoy AW
