On this episode of Executive Edge, Greg sits down with John McCown, non-resident senior fellow at the Center for Maritime Strategy and a leading authority on container shipping and maritime commerce. With more than four decades of operating and investment experience, John shares how his early career in banking led to a 20-year mentorship under Malcolm McLean, the inventor of container shipping, and later to founding TrailerBridge, one of the most efficient carriers in the industry.
