From Texas to Germany and back to Atlanta, Steven Markham, EVP & Head of North American Supply Chain Consulting Division at Körber and longtime GACC South Board Member, shares his unique career path and cross-cultural insights. In our latest episode, moderated by Mike Sammond, President & CEO at Gwinnett Business RadioX, and joined by our President & CEO, Matthias Hoffmann, Steven reflects on:

  • Navigating leadership in a German company as an American
  • Key trends shaping the future of supply chain tech
  • How the upcoming FIFA World Cup could boost Körber’s U.S. brand presence
  • Why transatlantic partnerships matter now more than ever

Plus, you’ll hear stories from his time in Germany, his take on travel soccer in the U.S., and a few fun moments that didn’t quite translate.

No podiums. No PowerPoints. Just real stories from real people. GACC South Unplugged offers you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at German-American business. We speak with entrepreneurs, executives, and visionaries across the Southern U.S. – open, direct, and personal.
