276: Say Goodbye To Unreliable Ocean Shipping, with NYSHEX
Gordon Downes is the co-founder of NYSHEX, a technology company focused on creating reliable ocean shipping. With a background in economics and maritime law, he began his career at Maersk, where he experienced firsthand the industry's pervasive problem of unreliable contracts and the frustration it caused for shippers. This inspired him to build NYSHEX as a neutral platform that uses two-way committed digital contracts to enforce accountability for both shippers and carriers. Downes emphasizes that this system of record fosters trust and collaboration, enabling a more resilient and efficient global supply chain.
