by Heather Clancy

I Love This Logistics Startup’s COVID-19 Pivot

by Heather Clancy

As we are all beginning to discover, the complicated science of logistics doesn’t always respond so well to unknown variables. The extreme household toilet paper shortage is only partially due to panic buying — the reality is that people really DO need more of the…

It’s time for tech companies to show their conscience

by Heather Clancy
