Mark Esper: Can the Defense Industrial Base Meet the Moment?
Mark Esper, former U.S. Secretary of Defense and now a Managing Partner at Red Cell Partners, joins us to examine the implications, risks and opportunities amid the expanding defense spending commitments across the world.
The war in Ukraine has reshuffled the deck. The conflict underscores a shift in battlefield logistics, driving an unprecedented pairing of technology with kinetic capabilities across land, sea, air and space.

Mark discusses with Jay Sapsford whether execution can match the ambitions, and whether this becomes a short surge or a durable project that reshapes industrial policy, budgets, and supply chains for the next decade.
