Meet John Bournas
John says he wishes he’d known about the power of collaboration – sharing knowledge and doing so respectfully across cultures and geographies – when starting out. “I truly believe that we don’t impart or teach these concepts sufficiently. I realize that these are softer skills than the technical and operational initiatives that we are involved in as an organization, but my sense is that we should be aware of these early on in our careers. Afterall, international cooperation among professionals, academics and companies is increasing as we confront common challenges in the global supply chain,” he says.
