During this podcast, Panjiva’s Rogers provided a deep overview of the myriad moving parts relating to the global trade outlook and environment and what it all means for global shippers and supply chain stakeholders.

The themes of the podcast focused on: the impact of COVID-19 on global trade; the ongoing United States-China trade war; the potential for near-shoring to return to North America, and the United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA).

When it comes to assessing the state of global trade activity, Rogers is as dialed in as it gets, in terms of providing up to date data and analysis related to things like tariffs and the ongoing U.S. trade war and the subsequent takeaways for global supply chains.

Prior to joining Panjiva, Rogers served as a global content manager and international trade analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence and has also held executive roles at JP Morgan and RBS, among other organizations.
