    Marcos Terroba - Head of Supply Chain at Bimbo QSR (Part of Grupo Bimbo)

    Most supply chain leaders think supply chain is about distribution and logistics. Marcos Terroba spent 20+ years proving they're wrong. As former US Operations Lead at Bimbo QSR, Marcos led a turnaround that took a bottom-ranked facility to first place globally in just two and a half years. His secret? Understanding that the magic doesn't happen in distribution. It happens in manufacturing. In this episode, Marcos walks through: Why supply chain leaders overlook the manufacturing piece (and why it costs them)How to think about supply chain as one integrated system from ingredients to customerThe leadership lessons that shaped how he makes decisions (spoiler: "take the noise out")How data and context become your competitive edgeWhy innovation at speed separates winners from everyone elseThe role of AI in supply chain decisions todayHow to prioritize what to fix when everything feels broken
