Jennifer Hunter - Agility Robotics: Growing a Robotics Powerhouse
In the latest episode of The Modern CFO Show it was an honour to sit down with Jennifer Hunter from Agility Robotics to discuss the challenges of growing one of the leading robotics companies in the world, the future of automation in the workforce, and why you should consider more physical operations in your CFO role.
Robots are transforming warehouses by automating physically demanding, repetitive tasks such as moving totes, unloading containers, and stocking shelves.
