In January 2025, the event at Fouquet’s UAE in Downtown Dubai set the stage for a memorable afternoon that brought together supply chain leaders in a unique way. Rather than diving into the usual debates about forecasts or industry challenges, the conversations flowed naturally toward more personal topics like family, travel, and the lighter side of leadership. The event became a space where stories were shared, connections were deepened, and perspectives were expanded. It was a reminder of a simple truth: supply chains are built on people, and the best ideas emerge when those people connect beyond the boardroom. The evening was a celebration of the power of human connection.
