Serving emerging markets and Africa's opportunity

Join Sheri Hinish for the launch of Student Voices, a new curated conversation within the Supply Chain Revolution pod spotlighting standout student and early-career leaders shaping the future of supply chain, sustainability, and innovation. In this debut episode, Sheri sits down with Yaseen Ahmid, founder of Luna, to explore how more human-centered systems can unlock overlooked value in people, communities, and markets. 

This conversation moves beyond resumes. Yaseen shares why he sees talent access, circular economy, and Africa-centered systems leadership as part of one larger operating philosophy: redesign the flow, restore agency, and build pathways to opportunity that are more inclusive by design. 

Listeners will hear how Luna responds to an increasingly automated and impersonal hiring landscape, why human judgment still matters in talent development, and how supply chain thinking can help leaders rethink access, resilience, and value creation at scale. 

Key Insights 

• Why Yaseen views careers, circularity, and regional development as one connected systems challenge 

• How Luna was built to restore agency in a job-search process that often feels automated and generic 

• Why access should be treated as infrastructure, not as a matter of chance 

• What global leaders still misunderstand about African markets, innovation, and supply chain potential 

• How circular thinking applies not only to materials, but also to where value is created, captured, and shared 

• What employers, students, and operators can do now to build pathways that are more fair, practical, and future-ready 

What Listeners Will Learn 

• How a supply chain lens can strengthen talent systems, sustainability strategy, and community impact 

• Why personalized guidance can outperform one-size-fits-all career support when the stakes are identity and opportunity 

• How young leaders can balance execution, systems thinking, and ecosystem building 

• What it means to design opportunity systems that are both human-centered and scalable 

Why This Conversation Matters 

The episode frames opportunity as a design question. Rather than treating career access, sustainability, and regional development as unrelated topics, it shows how thoughtful system design can surface value that traditional models often miss. 

Who Should Listen 

Ideal for students, early-career professionals, hiring leaders, supply chain operators, sustainability advocates, and anyone interested in building more inclusive systems of opportunity.
