Legends Series: From Engineer to Port Leader with Roger Guenther

On this episode of Kev Talks, we sit down with Roger Guenther, former Executive Director of Port Houston, to talk through a career that helped shape one of the most important ports in the country. Roger shares how he went from mechanical engineer to leading Port Houston, and what it was like watching the port grow from a relatively small operation into a major global gateway. We get into the real story behind that growth, including the strategy, partnerships, and infrastructure investments that made it possible. We also dig into some of the biggest moments in supply chain over the past couple of decades, from early import expansion to the chaos of COVID. Roger gives a practical, behind-the-scenes look at how the port handled it all and what the industry learned along the way. The conversation wraps with a look at what’s ahead for the Gulf Coast, along with Roger’s advice for the next generation coming into logistics. It’s a relaxed, insightful conversation with someone who’s truly been in the middle of it all.
