Well, good afternoon, Ashfa.

Welcome to the show.

Welcome, Brian.

Looking forward to talking with you today.

Absolutely, my friend.

I appreciate it.

And especially making the time.

I know there's a lot of juggling of calendars and time zones.

You're in Boston.

I'm in Kansas City.

So, again, really appreciate you making the time today.

And Ashfaq, if I could, I'm going to jump into your first question.

You've spent over two decades scaling global supply chain operations, including leadership roles at Siva Logistics and XPO.

What key experiences shaped your journey to becoming the CEO of EXO?

Thank you.

I appreciate your fascination or curiosity with supply chain over the years.
