Inside the Mind of the CEO Whisperer: Jerry Colonna, CEO of Reboot.io

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, hosts Scott Luton and Marty Parker welcome Justin Sears, Head of Product Marketing for SaaS at Altium, to explore how manufacturers can stay resilient amid rising tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and evolving global risks. Justin shares how his career journey—from early SaaS solutions to leading cloud-based collaboration tools for electronics design—has shaped his approach to visibility, agility, and innovation. Together, they unpack the complex impact of new tariffs on electronic components, why just-in-time is being replaced by just-in-case, and how companies are shifting procurement strategies to adapt. Justin also talks about the role of cloud platforms like Altium 365 in improving real-time collaboration across design, procurement, and manufacturing—bridging gaps, reducing errors, and increasing speed to market.   This episode is hosted by Scott Luton and Marty Parker, and produced by Amanda Luton, Trisha Cordes, and Joshua Miranda.   Additional Links & Resources Check out all the great resources and information mentioned during the show: Watch NOW on YouTube Connect with Justin Sears Read more on the Altium 365 Supply Chain Management webpage Check out the Altium BOM Portal Check out Altium Stories on YouTube Learn more about our hosts   Want more Supply…
