The Alice in Supply Chains Podcast is back for another episode! On it, Adrian Sanabria and Alexandre Sieira share their expert opinions on the most pressing matters in the TPCRM world - as presented on issue #42 of our newsletter of the same name, also launched today! From cyber risk at scale in private equity portfolios, to the evolution of TPCRM in the AI era, to real-world regulatory scrutiny following a major education-sector breach in Canada - this discussion connects the dots between headlines and hard accountability. The takeaway? Third-party risk is no longer an operational checkbox. It’s financial exposure. It’s regulatory pressure. It's a board-level strategy.
