“Everyone thought that with Chinese New Year coming, that was going to solve the [global logistics] problem. And it’s now more than clear that it’s not. With what I’m seeing and all the clients that we’ve been working with, it is probably going to take a little bit longer than that, so, let’s be ready for it.”

– Enrique Alvarez, Host of Logistics with Purpose & Supply Chain Now en Espanol
