409: Achieve End-to-End Visibility, Tracking and Monitoring For Your Shipments, with Tive
Krenar Komini is the founder and CEO of Tive, a leader in real-time supply chain visibility. With a background in computer and electrical engineering, he has a lifelong passion for startups and innovation, having previously worked on creating the world's first software-defined radio on a chip and efficient base stations for an MIT startup. The inspiration for Tive came from his father-in-law's trucking business, where he identified a critical gap in the market: the ability to track not just a truck's location, but the real-time condition of the cargo inside. This insight, combined with his expertise in wireless technology, led him to found Tive in 2015 to provide comprehensive, in-transit visibility.

Today, Krenar Komoni, Founder and CEO at Tive, will be talking all about Tive and what they do; why it’s just as important to know what condition your shipments are in, as exactly where they are; weaving sustainability into all elements of business; and exactly why how we ship matters so much.
