JLN FIA EXPO 2019 INDUSTRY LEADER SERIES

Mike Wisnefski, the CEO and co-founder of MaterialsXchange, spoke to John Lothian News at FIA Expo 2019 about bringing transparency and efficiency to the raw materials markets.  The exchange launched October 30 with its first lumber transaction and is looking into offering other products, such as steel and rebar. He said the primary lesson he has learned is that if you stand in front of technology and try to stop it, you’ll get run over.
