ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
It was an absolute pleasure to welcome James Duncan, President of Connex Marketplace, and Alan Davis, President and CEO of i5 Services, to Manufacturing an American Century. Jim and Alan are two private-sector leaders who’ve rolled up their sleeves to tackle two of the biggest challenges facing small and midsize manufacturers today: access to capital and supply chain visibility. They describe how Connex is helping manufacturers find the capital they need, and share how their tools make it easier for business owners to understand their options. Alan gives us the big picture on how Connex Marketplace is reconnecting the U.S. industrial base, helping manufacturers find each other by capability – not just geography or keywords – in a way that connects them while safeguarding their competitive edge.
We also discuss the trust they've established with manufacturers over more than a decade and why that trust is more important now than ever, given rising concerns about capital access, trade, and supply chain restructuring. Thanks to Alan and Jim for coming on the podcast!
