SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Prologis,
Inc., (NYSE: PLD), the global leader in logistics real estate,
today hosted a thought leadership event and launched a new
e-magazine, both of which address the issues facing today's supply
chain: transportation innovation, renewable energy initiatives, and
workforce scarcity.
Groundbreakers 2021: Breaking New Ground
The
event was headlined by a conversation between UPS CEO Carol Tomé and Prologis CEO Hamid Moghadam and moderated by Susie Gharib, Anchor and Senior Special
Correspondent, Fortune. Bestselling author Michael Lewis delivered closing remarks.
"The pandemic changed everything," said Prologis CEO
Hamid Moghadam. "Not only did it
accelerate trends at work, but it also exposed the fragility of the
global supply chain, which was optimized for efficiency, not
resilience. The old ways worked -- until they didn't. The leaders
we heard from today are at the cutting edge of this exciting new
world."
