Fabrega’s top priority at prepared meal delivery brand Freshly has been shifting its company culture to one that’s people-first — a vital step in scaling the business. This includes investing in leadership development and empowering teams to work both autonomously and collaboratively. “With that accomplishment in place, everything else we're striving toward will come.”
Nurturing Top Talent
When it comes to recruiting and retaining today's CPG talent, taking a customer-focused approach is table stakes. “Candidates and employees have more choice today than ever, so having mechanisms to gather feedback and take action are vital to set you apart from the competition.” For Freshly, this means considering such things as work-life balance, flexible ways of working, competitive pay, and opportunities for growth and advancement — all things they’ve heard are most important to today's workers.
Tech of the Future
Yes, the data is important, but it’s not just that: “Arguably more important is the pace at which you respond to that data. If you want to lead and disrupt your channel, it's vital to catch trends when they are ripe.” Being able to leverage live data that measures success is the most impactful as it enables Freshly to optimize products across all channels in real-time. “Combined with the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and machine learning, we'll be able to best understand and serve our customers.”

Stoltz Dickeson has 19 years of experience leading teams in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. She has managed portfolios with annual revenues of $1.7 billion, and driven product innovation and the commercialization of numerous technologies across the globe. At Eosera, she and her business partner, Joe, created a clinically proven formula that dissolves earwax. Fast forward over six years later and Eosera has products in more than 13,000 stores nationwide and online, and is a thriving, multi-million-dollar business. Stoltz Dickeson has brought manufacturing in-house at Eosera — “a gigantic feat” — and now the company is in a place where it can hire more people, purchase more machinery, and create more products than ever before.
Nurturing Top Talent
For Stoltz Dickerson, when it comes to recruiting and retaining talent, it all comes down to how you treat others. “When people look for jobs, they’re looking at not only what they’ll be doing, but also who they’ll be doing it with.” The company is very selective and particular when it comes to hiring — especially for a culture fit. The environment is one where everyone is kind, hardworking, and solution-focused, not blame-focused. “By creating this kind of environment, we’ve recruited and retained the kind of talent we want to attract.”
Tech of the Future
Stoltz Dickerson stands by her company’s Ear View MD product — a WiFi ear camera or otoscope that allows consumers to see inside their ear and take and send photos and videos to doctors, nurses, or friends, or post on social media. (Did you know that ear cleanings on TikTok are all the rage?)

“I’ve had some hugely impactful mentors throughout my career — from my time at Stripes to my tenure at Amazon — who not only helped to grow my technical skill sets, but also taught me invaluable lessons in professional maturity, inclusivity, and leadership.”
Travel Plans
In the “before times,” Fabrega was logging at least one big international trip each year with her husband. She currently has a trip to Portugal planned, which will be the first since the pandemic started.

Stoltz Dickerson predicts that Eosera will be making

to slow down any time soon.”
Little-Known Fact
She’s very competitive — mostly with herself. “I compete
with myself to try and make myself and my business
as great as it can be.” Additionally, Stoltz Dickerson
organized a feminine care drive in a matter of weeks and raised more than $6,000 and donated more than 37,000 hygiene items to girls and women in need.

Besu previously would have cited the "protein-packed" snack food brand selling nearly $1 million in its first year in business. “Now, the truth is, that helped me build confidence in what I was doing so that I could withstand the brunt of when things aren’t all rainbows and butterflies.”
Nurturing Top Talent
Maintaining a healthy mix of experience and young blood is key in recruiting and retaining talent today, as the different demographics, ages, and social cultures help keep the industry more inclusive and flow more seamlessly. In the past, Besu says she’s mistakenly focused on recruiting talent who are new to the industry and early in their career to keep the company’s creativity fresh. “Over the years, I have found that the more experience an individual has under their belt is beneficial for the brand to keep growing without as many pitfalls,” she now says. “As far as retention goes, we try to create an environment that is great for someone to personally grow and connect so they feel amazing about their productivity and results at work.”
Tech of the Future
Keep your eye on NFTs and blockchain for business marketing. Pointing to such brands as Tiffany and the National Football League, Besu believes these technologies will slowly continue to tip the scale and encourage other brands to do the same, whether that’s through experiences, commerce, or something hybrid. “When and if Web3 transpires, NFT and all marketing related to it will take flight. I can attest to how effective technology is for business because, initially, we grew our customer base on Instagram and a lot of our B2B sales originated on RangeMe, an online platform for retailers to assist with sales and discovery.”

Nominated by his peers for skillfully building a strategic revenue management and demand analytics capability at Mars, Kataria has been focused on driving actionable insights across such demand functions as strategic pricing, promotion optimization, route-to-market, and media effectiveness. As he and his team measure progress against the dollar value of insights generated, accepted, and executed, they’ve organized with the appropriate talent and established new ways of working. As a result, he’s helped deliver twice the original value goal while still producing capabilities at scale.
Nurturing Top Talent
Mars has defined its entire digital transformation in one-word — 100X — with a learning and agile culture underpinning its recruitment and talent strategy. “We may not have all the answers, but if we are fast enough, we will figure it out.” The company screens talent across two themes: The first is functional skills — i.e., business translators, data scientists, machine learning ops, data engineer — and teams are developed with a full stack capability to take a problem and deliver against it. The second is behavior, which Kataria notes is likely more important. “We look for archetypes across dreamers, hackers, and hustlers, and try to ensure that we have all three behaviors across the team.”
Tech of the Future
Make no mistake, the intersection of AI and robotic process automation will have the biggest impact. “I would like to call it AI for General Manager.” He notes the company wants AI to be driven responsibly and with purpose, which is evidenced in its sustainability and other functional initiatives. “While AI has transformed our ability to generate insights using deep learning and auto ML platforms, we want to be strategic about our next-gen capabilities in how we orchestrate the data-to-decision lifecycle to free up both mental and psychical capability of our associates.”

Molson Coors has been evolving toward a seamless digital transformation journey since last year. As the majority of IT and other functions prepared to return back to the office in late 2021, the time was right to accelerate and prioritize its cloud journey. With a goal of reinventing its core, removing complexities, and accelerating value enablement through the agility, scale, and power offered by the cloud, Krishnamoorthy and team have sought to deliver growth and leverage data to provide insights, directions, and drive results in a safe, secure, and sustainable manner. The entire IT function has aligned and collaborated on the critical success factors, says Krishnamoorthy, and now just six months out is finalizing its target architectures to begin executing on strategy. “We are entering into the cloud migration with great confidence and are excited for the future.”
Nurturing Top Talent
Krishnamoorthy notes that today’s candidates have many choices, which is enabling them to explore what they truly want to accomplish and how they want to do it. “Finding a job that’s true to one’s priorities has traditionally been challenging, but today’s job seekers are able to do just that. It is important for hiring managers to understand that and be real in setting expectations on both sides for a fruitful engagement.”
Tech of the Future
It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in: Leveraging information to drive better and informed decisions around planning, forecasting, investments, and corresponding actions — backed by data-driven insights — is the key differentiator across all business functions. “Consumers are changing, and the world is changing at a pace we have not seen before. Technologies that can shine the light on such changes would have the biggest impacts on businesses that are willing to adopt it.”

In his relatively short time at Cereal Partners Worldwide, Rimmer has shaped the analytics vision for the company and helped evolve its long-term plans and vision through the use of data and insights. As part of this, he’s working to standardize data across the global business units and create harmonizations that will make reporting and analysis more simple at scale. From there, he’ll apply data science to automate analysis that explains what’s driving performance across brands, saving time and unlocking growth opportunities.
Nurturing Top Talent
Presenting a crystal-clear vision is crucial for analytics talent, as is providing the freedom for them to express themselves, have fun, and take risks. In addition to understanding the individual motivations and desires of employees, Rimmer touts the value in encouraging them to absorb and look externally — such as through events, other companies, and individuals — for inspiration as often as possible.

Rimmer is fascinated to see if technology using natural language processing will enable all teams, regardless of their data literacy, the ability to ask questions of the business and get the answers required — at speed, with depth, and without needing to wait up to 20 days for an analyst team to pull data, analyze trends, and create presentations.

As part of her role as design leader for the company’s skin and personal care business, Schrimpf is always looking for new ways design can have a positive, value-creating impact on the brands. “This year specifically, my work is focused on creating BeautySPHERE, P&G Beauty’s first 3D virtual space: an experimental world our brands can play and learn in.” Schrimpf says she faced a surprising learning curve when it came to digital world creation, but she’s loving everything she’s learning. “I am incredibly proud of everything our team has accomplished through BeautySPHERE.”
Nurturing Top Talent
Schrimpf is passionately focused on serving a diverse group of consumers — something that she wants reflected in the diversity of her company’s designers. “Today, only 3% of design professionals in the U.S. are African American. That’s simply not acceptable for our industry or for our company.” Schrimpf works closely with a premier design university and historically Black colleges and universities to penetrate deeper on the topic of inclusivity in design. She’s established partnerships to enable recruiting pipelines, spanning high schools to graduate programs. “We also have a mentoring program that connects P&G designers with students. It’s important work every designer should be supporting.”
Tech of the Future
Schrimpf is convinced the 3D virtual world will be the next disruptive frontier for business — especially within the design industry, based on her experience with P&G’s BeautySPHERE. “As virtual platforms become more available, there will be some interesting blurring of lines that will shift the codes of value and consumerism.” She says this will impact how we consume gaming, entertainment, educational content, and more, and is curious about how it will evolve the beauty retail shopping experience. “It should enable more specific one-on-one guidance, deeper consumer loyalty, and more experiential brand engagements. It’s an exciting time to be working in this space!”

Be careful what you wish for! Raquel Riley Thomas Beauty, the cosmetics brand that operates on a mission of empowering and uplifting women, sold out of 80% of its products in the first two months. “In all honesty, we were not ready for the influx. We thought we had a good brand; however, we were overwhelmed with orders. So, we had to restock as quickly as possible.” The company’s values are represented through HEART: Honesty, Engagement, Accountability, Responsibility, and Teamwork. They’ve also prioritized sustainability — its products are made on recycled paper — as well as community support by donating a portion of its product proceeds to such non-profits as Operation Renewed Hope, Victoria’s Voice, StandUp for Kids, and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Thomas served as an Ordnance Officer in the U.S. Army before founding the company, firmly believing it was important to serve her country before becoming an entrepreneur. And this was for good reason, as serving is in her blood — her grandmother, mother, and aunt were all in the U.S. military.

Incorporating talent retention into a growth strategy is crucial, and Thomas looks to the pros when it comes to building up these capabilities: “Finding subject matter experts in specified business areas who can help the company grow is important.”

Spearheading the rebrand at eco-friendly towel manufacturer Nimbus while also managing the roll-out of new cleaning products — all during the pandemic — are among Samuels’ greatest accomplishments at the brand. In response to challenges related to bamboo manufacturing amid COVID, Samuels helped the business maintain its vision for sourcing sustainable substrates and introduced two new products: the “Nimby” — a compressed towel made from eucalyptus that removes 99.9% of germs without using plastic or chemicals — and a multi-surface towel that can be machine washed and reused 40 times before being composted. These solutions reduced shipping costs and provided customers with leading eco-friendly attributes that they have come to expect from innovative green brands. He’s also spearheading the company's expansion into its raw material supply by developing and deploying bamboo feedstock locations across the U.S. and Mexico, reducing its dependence on Chinese supply and creating new jobs in the U.S.
Nurturing Top Talent
“Company culture. Living wage. Believe in what you sell.” Recruiting and retaining top talent requires a fun and inclusive company culture paired with products or services that enrich the lives of its customers. Samuels recognizes that top talent wants to believe in the company they work for and the positive impact they’re having by executing their jobs. “It’s also important to pay workers a living wage while also offering flexibility to work remotely.”
Tech of the Future
It’s not so much the type of technology that’s going to have an impact, as it’s not necessarily new, but how it’s going to be implemented: “The tracking, analysis, and marketing of a company and its products' carbon footprint will have a major impact on businesses in the near future.” Companies that pursue or achieve net zero carbon emissions will use their green credentials to market against their competition and others in highly competitive industries with little differentiation (e.g., Big Oil), according to Samuels.

Schwartz created the tech innovation function known as PepsiCo Labs, a new capability that systematically brings digital innovation into the food and beverage company. From business problem definition to startup scouting, technology pilots, and global scaling, he’s helped build a model to rapidly experiment and decide at scale. As part of this, PepsiCo Labs has launched more than 100 pilots and reinvented the way the company engages startups.
Nurturing Top Talent
Schwartz cites three important factors when it comes to recruiting and retaining today’s talent. 1. Impact: “Many of us want to be part of a positive impact on the world. The most attractive CPGs achieve impact and empower employees to be part of that positive impact.” 2. Pride: “The test is simple: If I am proud to tell friends I work at the company, then I will be happy to join and to stay with the company.” 3. Fun: “The most significant driver to me is smiles. If we enjoy our job, we stay. If we don’t, we leave. The bigger the smile, the greater the retention.”

Speaking of pride, some of the technologies he’s most proud of are the ones PepsiCo has partnered on behalf of sustainability, such as N-Drip’s high-efficiency drip irrigation solution to help farmers irrigate precisely and efficiently, while saving money, water, and fertilizer and reducing carbon emissions. After a successful pilot, they’re now scaling it globally across the company’s agricultural footprint.

Shoushan oversees the entire digital organization responsible for building and creating DTC digital products and experiences in LATAM, sets the company’s product portfolio strategy, and is responsible for product development, user experience, and innovative tech solutions. Shoushan’s biggest accomplishment to date was the inception of ABI’s fastest-growing DTC on-demand delivery business internationally. The venture for which he recruited and led a talented tech team of 60-plus members to develop a complex digital on-demand beverage delivery platform that guarantees consumer access to cold beverages delivered in under 30 minutes, helps small local business owners stay competitive, and provides a safer work environment for local delivery workers. Since inception, the service expanded to seven countries and the mobile apps achieved Top 5 app store positioning in GooglePlay and Apple’s AppStore in food and beverage; covered 80 million consumers (and growing); processed more than a million orders; generated millions in revenue; and grew 30% - 40% month-over-month.
Nurturing Top Talent
Talented professionals today care a lot about a company's mission, vision, and values. Shoushan believes it’s crucial to emphasize and reinforce these constantly. “Tech talent is attracted to inspiring digitally savvy leaders with diverse experiences in startups and/or tech companies.” They want to tackle big problems, particularly those dealing with cutting-edge technologies. Shoushan says that in today´s reality talent retention is about fostering an innovative, digital-led culture that “provides a sense of ownership, autonomy, and purpose.” Companies should lead by example, mentor employees, and provide a clear career path. Among the popular benefits are a flexible work environment, competitive compensation, and rewards for top performers.
Tech of the Future
Today's consumers expect everything to be delivered instantly, even as fulfillment and last mile become more expensive and challenging. The solution? “Adoption of hyperlocal MFCs is growing.” But that’s not enough, says Shoushan. “I believe that fulfillment and last mile automation technologies are crucial to help further reduce costs, decrease delivery times, cut down staffing and real estate costs, unlock rapid growth, and provide real-time inventory tracking and visibility capabilities.”

Shoushan has had multiple mentors throughout his professional life. “Getting their objective opinion on business and life issues helped shape my ideas, challenge my thinking, and provide a reality check.” This invaluable input eventually drove successful business outcomes and enhanced his professional skills, he says.
