Future of the Global Transportation Industry
COVID-19 has sent shockwaves through today’s transportation industry impacting air travel, shipping rates, and access to products traditionally sourced via international ocean and air routes. Travel and safety restrictions and a newly-found nationalistic focus on the production and sourcing of strategic products and components, threaten to upend well-established supply chains and change the face of the transportation industry. Traditional business models and the financing and capital structures of well-established transportation providers are being revisited. Join WCNY for an enlightening discussion on the future of the global transportation industry with Jeffrey Ward (WG’91), Partner at Kearney and Global Practice Leader Transportation, Travel and Infrastructure Group; Farrukh Bezar, SVP of Marketing, CSX, Corp.; and Loli Wu (WG’94), Managing Director of Investment Banking and Global Head Transportation and Infrastructure at Bank of America Securities.
