“The pandemic has helped me challenge the fears and the doubts that I have because other people are depending on me to get the job done – and they have fears as well.”

– Azaleah Davis, a Research Analyst for Allegiant Logistics and General Program Coordinator at Coda Mountain Academy

 

In the southern part of West Virginia, there are many families that struggle with poverty and opioid addiction. The Coda Mountain Academy works to get students engaged in extracurricular activities like robotics, art, and music, to help them realize that there’s something else out there to aspire to.

In addition to being a Research Analyst for Allegiant Logistics, Azaleah Davis serves as the General Program Coordinator at Coda Mountain Academy, continuing a multi-generational tradition of community service in her family.

In this conversation with Supply Chain Now Host Scott Luton, Azaleah talks about:

· How she found her way to a degree in engineering and biomechanics.

· Why she would like consumers to have a better understanding of the many steps and communities involved with bringing products to the store shelf.

· The evolutionary journey aspiring leaders have to be willing to take if they want to be the best they can be.

For Katherine Torres-Pummill, that path began in Queens, New York, where she was raised by a resilient single mother in a first-generation household surrounded by culture, community, and hard-earned lessons.

AI, Human Ingenuity, and the Next Era of Supply Chains

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton and Tevon Taylor welcome Gaurav Malhotra, Partner and Supply Chain Technology Leader at EY, to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming supply chains today and where it’s headed over the next five years. Gaurav shares how EY is helping organizations embrace emerging technologies to create competitive advantage, avoid “pilot purgatory,” and build more cognitive and resilient supply chains. They cover practical misconceptions holding companies back from adopting AI, the foundational elements required for successful implementation, and real-world examples of immediate impact in logistics, predictive maintenance, and warehouse operations. Gaurav also discusses how organizations can invest in workforce education, reskilling, and culture change to ensure that humans remain at the center of AI adoption. Looking ahead, he offers his perspective on how agentic AI will reshape supply chains into adaptive, orchestrated ecosystems while freeing people to focus on creativity, critical thinking, and enterprise differentiation.   This episode is hosted by Scott Luton and Tevon Taylor, and produced by Trisha Cordes, Joshua Miranda, and Amanda Luton.   Additional Links & Resources Check out all the great resources and information mentioned during the show: Connect with Gaurav Malhotra Learn more about EY Learn more…
