Description

Our guest this week is Calico CEO & Founder, Kathleen Chan.
Kathleen has been at the forefront of making sustainable supply chain software for e-commerce brands, and in two short years her company Calico has raised millions of dollars in funding after Kathleen took it upon herself to answer the question that most direct to consumer brands were asking about their supply chain management process “there must be a better way”
We discuss what it takes to make supply chains sustainable and efficient using digital transformation, and also what it’s like having Tennis megastar Serena Williams as an investor.  
Kathleen has been a serial success in the fashion and e-commerce world
and in this episode we caught up about her most pivotal success story yet, all this and much more, this week on transform talks.

Just over 20 years ago I arrived in the UK with less than £1,000 to my name. I knew that the only way to succeed was to never settle for “good enough.” Through a mixture of hard work, humility and quite frankly dogged determination I managed to transform my life. Fast forward to the present day and I’m now the Co-Founder and CEO of The Future Insights Network, a fast-growing network of over 130,000 manufacturing, supply chain, and digital transformation leaders. Yes, my life is intense, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. On this podcast I will be sitting down with globally renowned thought leaders from the world of supply chain, manufacturing and business to bring you refreshingly down-to-earth conversations with the people responsible for transforming our everyday lives. If I have learnt anything from my 25 years working in senior leadership positions is that whilst change is almost inevitable, true transformation is very much a conscious choice. My question for you therefore is, are you ready to be transformed? I’m Maria Villablanca and this is Transform Talks.
