➡ Meet the newest member of the Pod Squad Lucy Stylianou - Lucy is part of team 'Launch Pod' and will be covering end to end Supply Chain in the UK at entry and junior level!   Why Pod Talent?⭐ I joined Pod Talent because I was excited about working with a team that genuinely values building strong relationships and making a real impact. I wanted to be part of a company where I could grow both personally and professionally while helping connect amazing people with the right opportunities. Pod’s supportive and forward-thinking culture made it an easy choice for me. What would be your superpower if you could choose anything?🚀 If I could have any superpower, I’d choose the ability to teleport. Being able to instantly travel anywhere in the world would mean I could explore new places, cultures, and experiences without limits. Plus, imagine skipping the stress of commuting or long flights—it’s the ultimate freedom! A fun fact about yourself ?💭 I spent 4 years living in Cyprus, where I had the incredible experience of having a friend with a zoo in their garden! #podtalent #pod #supplychain #newstarter #hiring #london #international #southamerica #procurment #logistics

We are excited to announce the start of a project that we have been working on in the background for some time, led by Sam Berke Pod Talent has a huge network of Supply Chain professionals, ranging from junior Supply Chain candidates just starting out their careers, to seasoned executives looking for their next C-Suite move. Part of Pod’s mission is to offer genuine support and guidance to our candidates; however, as headhunters, we can only give so much advice. That’s why we’ve created Supply Chain Stories, a Podcast designed to platform Chief Supply Chain Officers with a simple objective – to provide advice on Supply Chain careers to our network, from those best qualified to give it. The conversations cover: - Advice given to CSCOs as they progressed through their career - Their own learnings from their career - Their top advice for not only early Supply Chain careers, but VPs and SVPs looking to take the final step to the C-Suite In the first conversation of the series, Sam had the pleasure of being joined by Sami Pascal Naffakh, ex Chief Supply Chain Officer of Reckitt and Arla Foods. With his exceptional experience, Sami shares advice on how to build a strong foundation for Supply Chain leadership in the early career stage, when and how to take calculated career risks, his top skills to develop for the future of Supply Chain, and his top advice for senior leaders looking to take their next step to Board level.
