In this episode of The Flex Forward Podcast, host Nic Espanet sits down with Karl Waggoner, Director of Supply Chain and Logistics at Mammoth Freighters. Karl shares the unique work being done at Mammoth—converting retired Boeing 777 passenger planes into high-performing freighters—and what sets their team and technology apart in the aerospace industry.
Karl opens up about his career journey, which began in the Air Force and eventually led him through roles in maintenance, design, engineering, and supply chain leadership at Boeing. He details the pivotal decision to leave Boeing and move to Germany during COVID—a choice that came with personal and professional challenges, but ultimately led him to where he is today.
He also offers thoughtful advice on building a “skill stack,” embracing failure as a growth tool, and pursuing work that makes you more of who you want to be.
