Exiger, a company specializing in AI-powered supply chain risk management and a significant technology provider to the U.S. Government, has announced that retired U.S. Navy Captain (Supply Corps) Mark Harris has joined its team as a Strategic Advisor. Captain Harris's appointment leverages his extensive background, which includes more than 30 years of experience in logistics and supply chain operations acquired during his distinguished career in the U.S. Navy.
For freight forwarders and supply chain professionals, this appointment signals a continued focus on enhancing supply chain resilience and security, particularly within government and defense-related sectors. Exiger's role in providing risk technology to the U.S. Government suggests that future developments in supply chain visibility and security protocols, influenced by advisors like Captain Harris, could eventually trickle down to broader commercial logistics practices. This could lead to more stringent requirements for data transparency and risk assessment across the supply chain, potentially impacting how forwarders manage and report on their shipments, especially for clients with government contracts or those operating in sensitive industries.
