In this episode of Behind the Grind, Brian and I talk with Jeff Delkin and Rachel Speth, Founders of Bambu, about how they are mitigating COVID19 supply chain disruptions they have faced over the last three months of the COVID-19 crisis.

A challenge that first presented in China, as factories closed, but then moved to the US where retailers were forced to close.

Currently, as the Managing Director of Collective Responsibility, Executive Director of HandsOn China, and a Visiting Professor of Sustainability at the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS), I’m focused on building platforms that promote long term organizational capacity to address the economic, environmental, and social hurdles that China faces as the country’s economic growth accelerates.
