Stay tuned. Hello, and welcome to Decoder. I'm Milo Ibatel, editor in chief of The Verge, and Decoder is my show about big ideas and other problems. Today I'm talking with Evan Smith, the co-founder and CEO of Altana. a company that develops software tools to manage big, messy supply chain networks around the world. We last had Evan On in early 2025. to talk about how Trump's first few waves tariffs were starting to affect global trade.
and what patterns Altana was seeing and all that macro level data about shipping and trade. It was a very illuminating and occasionally alarming chat. Evan and I got into the existential weeds of international relations and economics almost immediately. It's among my favorite episodes of Decoder, and it's a deep introduction into what Altana does, if you're interested. We'll drop a link in the show notes. But now it's a year and a half later, and global trade is somehow even more chaotic than it was the last time Evan and I talked. And as you'll hear, we jumped right back into the weeds of international relations yet again. On top of that, developments in Agentic AI have changed the very nature of what it means to run a software company. It's changed what Altana can do.
