A conflict in Iran is choking off critical trade routes, sending shockwaves through global supply chains, driving up costs, and forcing companies to rethink how they move people, goods, and talent worldwide. Guest: Alex Talbot, CEO of Interconex.
Zac and Alex unpack the early-stage impact of the ongoing Iran conflict on global mobility and relocation operations. As geopolitical tensions disrupt key trade routes and strain global supply chains, relocation professionals are being forced to navigate rapidly changing conditions with limited visibility.
This conversation explores what’s happening beneath the headlines—from rising fuel costs and stalled shipments to the real-time decisions mobility teams must make to protect employees and manage risk. Alex offers a grounded, operational perspective on how organizations are adapting, what options are realistically available, and where caution is warranted.
Lets provide a clear-eyed look at how conflict translates into practical disruption—and how to respond with transparency, discipline, and sound judgment.
