    Jorge shares why culture is an operating system at its roots.

  • Smart Factories, Real ROI: Gustavo López Ghory on Analytics, AI & Supply Chain Prosperity
    Dec 16 2025

    In this episode of The Momentum Flow, I sit down with Gustavo López Ghory, former Chief Supply Chain Officer at Kimberly-Clark, longtime global manufacturing leader at Procter & Gamble, and co-founder & Chairman of Swiss tech startup SmarterChains.

    With more than ~35 years leading some of the world’s most complex production networks, Gustavo has seen every wave of “transformation” in manufacturing, and he’s honest about what actually creates value versus what’s just buzz.

    We dive into:
    - The four pillars of Gustavo’s leadership philosophy: people, technical mastery, business mastery, and authenticity.

    - Where digital twins, robotics, and AI are truly delivering ROI, and where companies are stuck in pilot paralysis.

    - Why most factories are quietly carrying ~30% hidden waste, and how operational value intelligence exposes it.

    - How SmarterChains is helping manufacturers unlock trapped value and move toward the “Factory of the Future.”

    - The evolving role of the human operator in an AI-augmented world.

    - Practical advice for operators, founders, and investors in smart manufacturing.

    If you’re building, running, or investing in industrial operations, this conversation will challenge how you think about technology, culture, and value creation on the shop floor.
