Welcome back to The Momentum Flow, where ideas, innovation, and leadership drive real-world impact.
In this episode, I sat down with Chris Styles, who leads supply chain operations across the Americas at Nissan.
With over 30 years of experience across logistics, procurement, vehicle distribution, and global operations, Chris offers a rare, operator-level view into how one of the world’s largest automotive OEMs navigates volatility, disruption, and transformation at scale.
This conversation goes beyond theory to explore:
- How automotive supply chains are evolving in an era of constant volatility
- Where AI is delivering real operational value today
- How OEM–supplier relationships are shifting from transactional to strategic
- The tradeoffs behind inventory, resilience, cost, and service
- What modern supply chain leadership really looks like, and how it’s changed over the last 20+ years
Whether you’re an operator, executive, investor, or supply chain leader, this episode delivers practical insight into what it takes to keep complex systems moving — even when conditions are unpredictable.
