Saputo Inc.’s Post

🌟 Exciting Announcement 🌟 I'm feeling both grateful and vulnerable as I share this post with you all. Recently, I had the honor of participating in the Nestlé challenge, where I poured my heart and soul into crafting a pitch that I believed in. Out of 106 participants, I was humbled to be chosen as one of the finalists to present my idea. Receiving the certificate for this achievement should have filled me with pride, but instead, I find myself grappling with a mix of emotions. Despite the recognition, I can't shake this feeling of plainness, as if I haven't truly achieved anything significant. Has anyone else ever experienced something similar? How did you navigate these emotions and find clarity and purpose in your accomplishments? I'm sharing this vulnerability because I believe that growth and success often come hand in hand with moments of doubt and uncertainty. And while it's easy to focus on the destination, it's the journey—the lessons learned, the challenges overcome, and the personal growth—that truly shape us. I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to some incredible individuals who have played a pivotal role in my growth journey and the success of pitching my idea in the recent Nestlé challenge. Edmond Ate ,Uchechukwu E. O. , Cristina Vásquez , and Emmanuel Jago , your unwavering support, guidance, and encouragement have meant the world to me. Your insights, feedback, and belief in my abilities have propelled me forward, giving me the confidence to step onto the stage and share my vision with the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of this journey with me. Your support has made all the difference, and I couldn't have done it without you. Here's to many more milestones and shared successes ahead! 🚀 So here's to embracing vulnerability, celebrating small victories, and finding fulfillment in the journey, wherever it may lead. And to my fellow challengers, thank you for being part of this journey with me. Let's continue to support and inspire each other as we pursue our dreams. 🚀 Another skill achieved PITCHING. #Vulnerability #PersonalGrowth #JourneyToSuccess

It will interesting to see how the FTC and DOJ handle this announcement and what will follow. They have been harsh in their scrutiny of oil and gas mergers that have essentially zero anti-trust implications but will they look for it here?

Our recent Nestlé All Hands event was a unique opportunity to come together as one team and celebrate our beloved brands. One of the reasons why I am constantly inspired by our organization, is that the work and positive impact we make truly is global – all thanks to our teams from around the world. Listening and chatting with our colleagues really has me fired up as we see out our final quarter of the year.   Here are a few takeaways I’m reflecting on: ➖ Laurent Freixe's Vision: Our new CEO's passion for innovation and delivering value is infectious and lays a clear path for us all to further invest in our iconic brands. Being part of a company with such a strong purpose is inspiring. ➖ Consumer First: We're doubling down on understanding our consumers and adapting our products to meet their unique needs. It's all about staying relevant and delivering value. ➖ Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: The event reinforced the importance of a collaborative culture where everyone feels heard and valued. Together, we're unstoppable. ➖ Brand Impact: Hearing about the positive impact of our brands on communities worldwide was truly heartwarming. It's a reminder of why we do what we do. ➖ Data-Driven Decisions: Our focus on data and operations is key to staying ahead of the curve. We're making smarter decisions and driving efficiency.   Overall, the All Hands event was a clear reminder that: We make Nestlé! Big shoutout to everyone involved in making it such a massive success.   #Nestlé #Innovation #ConsumerFirst

🎉 Big News from Mars !🎉 I’m really excited about Mars’ recent acquisition of Kellanova 's team and their iconic brands like Pringles, Cheez-It, Pop-Tarts, Eggo, and Special K. This move is huge and solidifies Mars ' already significant position in the global market. Why is this so important?🌍 Mars has been steadily growing its global footprint, and this acquisition strengthens their influence in the highly competitive Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) market. As consumers demand more from brands in terms of innovation, sustainability, and convenience, having such a robust portfolio puts Mars in a prime position to meet and exceed those expectations. Here are a few reasons this acquisition is a game-changer: 1. Expanding Market Reach: With these iconic brands now part of the Mars family, they can leverage their global distribution channels to reach even more consumers. This is particularly significant in emerging markets, where there’s growing demand for trusted, well-known brands. 2. Diverse Consumer Appeal: From snacks to breakfast foods, the Kellanova brands cover a wide range of consumer needs and preferences. This diversity allows Mars to cater to different segments more effectively, whether it’s health-conscious consumers looking for products like Special K or those craving the indulgence of Pringles and Cheez-It. 3. Innovation Opportunities: Bringing these brands into the fold opens up new possibilities for product innovation. Mars can now explore synergies across their existing and new brands, potentially leading to exciting new products that combine the strengths of each. 4. Strengthened Sustainability Efforts: As sustainability becomes a core focus for the FMCG industry, Mars’ commitment to this cause can be further enhanced through this acquisition. There’s a real opportunity here to set new standards in sustainable practices across these popular brands. Mars has always been a major player, and with these brands now part of the family, their global presence is only going to get stronger. It’s amazing to think about how this will shape the future of snacking and breakfast options around the world. Looking forward to seeing the innovation and growth that’s sure to come from this! Congrats to Poul Weihrauch and the Mars Team! #MarsIncorporated #Kellanova #GlobalGrowth #ExcitingTimes #ConsumerBrands #MarketLeader #Innovation #Sustainability #FMCG
