171. Charles Griffith. From Amazon Logistics to the Future of Retail Supply Chains.

Today on The Future Of The Future, I’m joined by Charles Griffith, a technologist who helped build part of the early foundation behind Amazon's logistics infrastructure. Retail logistics is being pushed to its limits. Customers expect everything faster, supply chains are more fragile than ever, and the systems that move goods around the world are under enormous pressure to become smarter, faster, and more resilient. Today, we’ll explore how technology has transformed the logistics landscape—from the early architectures that made modern fulfillment possible to the emerging technologies reshaping how goods are tracked, moved, and delivered. We’ll also dig into why data, collaboration, and new leadership mindsets will determine which retailers survive the next decade and which fall behind. Enjoy!
