A couple of short interviews on video. XPO’s ambitious Brad Jacobs is very personable, here he explains how he managed to create such a large company out of one small truck brokerage – the secret to his success: when you come across a problem, see it as an advantage, solve it, add value and move on to the next. The other is Robbert van Trooijen, APAC CEO for Maersk, who mostly ensures that the audience knows Maersk is open for business. But also reveals that governments worked closely with the company to resolve the problems following the cyber attack. Neither interview is improved by some of the, frankly pretty dumb, questions (“Did Maersk get in IT people to help?”) – but to the credit of the interviewees, they manage to reply with interesting responses.
