In our inaugural episode of Blue Ocean, we sit down with Cedrik Hoffmann, co-founder and CEO of Ameba AI.
Cedrik’s career has been all about taking big swings — from buying a Taiwanese slot machine manufacturer in his early 20s, to co-founding one of Mexico’s largest e-commerce brand aggregators, to his project today: starting a next-gen supply chain software execution platform.
In this episode we discuss:
Why most brands can’t control supply chain variance
The pitfalls of implementing ERPs and how to avoid them
Ameba's mission to create a 'self-updating source of truth' for supply chains
The future of the supply chain software landscape, and the 'disaggregated tech stack'
