Description

In this episode, we're joined by Pierre Mille, Former Director of Plan & Deliver at FrieslandCampina, to discuss all things customer-centricity. Pierre tells us why it's time to take a customer-centric approach in redesigning and rebuilding your supply chains, why it's imperative to do this, especially in the face of disruption, and with the added pressure from your CFO to cut costs. Pierre backs up his advice with practical examples from his time at Unilever, and more recently, FrieslandCampina, where he successfully designed and delivered a customer-centric supply chain strategy that radically transformed the dairy division.

Just over 20 years ago I arrived in the UK with less than £1,000 to my name. I knew that the only way to succeed was to never settle for “good enough.” Through a mixture of hard work, humility and quite frankly dogged determination I managed to transform my life. Fast forward to the present day and I’m now the Co-Founder and CEO of The Future Insights Network, a fast-growing network of over 130,000 manufacturing, supply chain, and digital transformation leaders. Yes, my life is intense, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. On this podcast I will be sitting down with globally renowned thought leaders from the world of supply chain, manufacturing and business to bring you refreshingly down-to-earth conversations with the people responsible for transforming our everyday lives. If I have learnt anything from my 25 years working in senior leadership positions is that whilst change is almost inevitable, true transformation is very much a conscious choice. My question for you therefore is, are you ready to be transformed? I’m Maria Villablanca and this is Transform Talks.
