Welcome to Global Commerce Exchange. Our flagship podcast grew out of Professor Peter Maillet's conviction that global awareness and understanding are more important today than ever, especially during this time of urgent social, environmental, geopolitical, and technological challenges. These conversations are aimed at connecting our McIntire community of students, alumni, and friends to the global conversation on the future of business. Now, let’s get started.
Join us for twice monthly conversations during the academic year as we explore the intersection of global affairs and business through curated discussions with top business leaders and thinkers.
