Kevin chats with Emily Kelly, Senior Director of Operations at Zenni Optical, during this special Supply Chain Point edition of The New Warehouse Podcast. Known for its affordable eyewear and direct-to-consumer model, Zenni has evolved over its 22-year history to now include a growing contact lens business.
Emily shares how Zenni is balancing innovation and stability in a volatile global logistics environment, especially as they manage a dual-channel supply chain for both glasses and contacts. From navigating small parcel carrier shakeups to handling tariffs on imported frames, she offers clear, practical insight into how Zenni stays nimble while staying true to its brand promise.
