In this edition of The Briefing, Emerging Trajectories welcomes Scott Wellcome, Director of Grains Risk Management at GoodMills Group GmbH. With nearly four decades of experience spanning trading, brokering, procurement, and risk management across Europe and the Middle East, Scott has become a trusted authority in navigating global commodity markets.

Reflecting on his 38 years in the industry, Scott sees continuity in the fundamentals of supply and demand, but also profound transformation in speed, technology, and globalization. Information once carried by telex and fax now moves in real time through data feeds and social media. And while artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping market analysis, Scott insists that ultimate responsibility for judgment calls—and the accountability they carry—will remain firmly human.

For Scott, resilience in today’s commodity landscape rests on a balance: technology sharpened by relationships, and data reinforced by instinct. As he puts it, Emerging Trajectories helps him “take the noise and make it into clarity.”
