On this episode of The Momentum Flow, I sit down with Tim Scott, former Naval Officer, former Chief Supply Chain Officer at Grocery Outlet, and now Advisor at True North Supply Chain Advisory LLC.

This conversation is about what it really takes to build retail supply chains that win under pressure.

We cover:

• Leadership when conditions are imperfect
• The difference between end-to-end strategy and logistics-deep execution
• How big enterprises think vs. regional and PE-backed retailers
• What automation actually delivers ROI — and what’s just noise
• Why most tech transformations fail in blueprinting and change management

Tim has led transformations across $5B–$30B enterprises and delivered over $80M in cost savings — but what stood out most in this episode wasn’t the numbers.

It was the discipline.

The clarity.

The willingness to pull your best operators into transformation work — even when it hurts short-term performance.

If you’re a CSCO, COO, board member, investor, or founder building in logistics-heavy industries, this is a practical conversation grounded in real operating pressure — not theory.
