Execution at Scale Ep-7 The Real Advantage Isn't Your Tech Stack | Jeremy Van Puffelen

Your competitors have the same WMS. The same automation options. The same AI tools. The same access to information you do. So if technology is no longer the differentiator then what actually is? The businesses that keep winning aren't winning because of their stack. They're winning because of how they execute, how they build relationships, and how consistently they solve problems for the people they serve. In Episode 7 of Execution at Scale, Vikrant Neb sits back down with Jeremy Van Puffelen, for a conversation that gets to the heart of what actually separates businesses that win long-term from the ones that plateau. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ What this conversation covers: → Why technology is no longer a sustainable competitive advantage, and what actually is → How genuine relationships with customers, partners, and even competitors create opportunities that transactional selling never can → Why the best operators focus on solving problems, not just selling services → How curiosity and continuous learning keep businesses ahead of change while others get caught off guard → Why community over competition isn't just a nice idea, it's a business strategy → What purpose-driven leadership actually looks like, and why it outlasts every short-term play ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ABOUT THE GUEST: Jeremy Van Puffelen is a supply chain and logistics leader with extensive experience in warehouse operations, fulfillment, and business transformation.
