In this episode of Inside the Pod, host Ben Pike sits down with pulses trader James Ormerod from Bunge UK to unpack the current dynamics shaping the UK pulse market. James offers a trader's view of supply and demand, exploring how policy, global competition, and shifting domestic priorities are influencing bean and pea prices.UK bean production has halved in recent years, falling from around 800,000 tonnes to nearer 400,000 tonnes. James attributes much of this decline to SFI (Sustainable Farming Incentive) payments, which have encouraged growers to take land out of production for guaranteed returns. Although Defra's latest figures suggest a slight recovery in area, the long-term trend remains downward — a concern for both traders and processors.James also discusses how competing protein sources such as soya and rapeseed meal are setting a tough benchmark for beans in feed markets, while export demand has weakened. Still, there are bright spots: the UK's fish feed sector and poultry market continue to provide strong outlets, and the nation's reputation for producing high-quality feed beans remains solid.Despite short-term uncertainty, James remains hopeful that renewed policy focus on homegrown protein and sustainable cropping could help pulses reclaim their place in British agriculture — vital for food security, soil health, and reducing reliance on imported soya.For more information read the latest PGRO Pulse Market Update for September/October 2025 (pgro.org). Pea Bruchid is still a hot topic at the moment, and PGRO is still urging growers to remain vigilant and report any signs of infestation.

Today we're talking about the challenges facing farm businesses after two very difficult years of crop establishment and a dry summer that has left many under significant financial pressure. That's the picture here in the UK, but globally we're seeing record harvests - and it's not just arable enterprises under strain. Livestock producers have been severely affected too. So, what can farmers do to navigate this period and build resilience? To explore that question, we're joined by Lucy Braithwaite-Exley Scotland Origination Manager with Bunge, and Paul Pickford, Farm Business Consultant. This episode covers:Create a Clear Financial Plan Build a realistic budget and gross margin analysis to guide decisions and secure financial support. This helps manage cash flow and ensures you're prepared for seasonal input costs.Engage Early with Local Buyers and Merchants Identify local market demand to reduce haulage costs and improve profitability. Regularly speak with merchants and traders to align crop choices with buyer needs.Diversify Marketing Strategies Use tools like grain pools to manage price volatility and ensure movement and payment for a portion of your crop. This reduces risk and improves financial predictability.Adapt Cropping Based on Market Signals Monitor shifts in demand (e.g. reduced distilling sector needs in Scotland) and adjust crop rotations accordingly - consider alternatives like oats, rye, or oilseed rape where viable.Leverage Sustainable Practices for Financial Gain Implement strategies like reduced tillage, cover cropping, and efficient nutrition to unlock environmental and financial benefits. Explore pilot projects and sustainability schemes that offer rewards.*Please note: This podcast was recorded on 13th October 2025, and market prices may have changed since then.

Robert S. Jett III (“Bob”) serves as the first Global Chief Data Privacy Officer at Bunge, where he leads global privacy initiatives and supports key projects in digital transformation, AI, and data management. With over 30 years of legal and in-house counsel experience across manufacturing, insurance, and financial services, he has built and managed global programs for compliance, data privacy, and incident response. Bob has worked extensively across IT, cybersecurity, information security, and corporate compliance teams. He holds a BA in international relations and political science from Hobart College and a JD from the University of Baltimore School of Law. Bob is active in the ACC, IAPP, Georgia Bar Privacy & Law Section, and the Maryland State Bar Association. In this episode… Managing privacy and security across multiple jurisdictions has never been more challenging for global companies, as regulations evolve and privacy, security, and AI risks accelerate at the same time. The challenge becomes particularly acute for businesses managing supply chains that span dozens of countries, where they must navigate geopolitical shifts and comply with strict employee data regulations that differ by region. These organizations also face the added complexity of governing AI tools to protect sensitive data. Navigating these challenges requires close coordination between privacy, security, and operational teams so risks can be identified quickly and addressed in real time.  A simple way global companies can address these challenges is by embedding privacy leaders into operational teams. For global companies, like Bunge, regular communication between privacy, IT, and cybersecurity teams keeps threats visible in real time, while cross-collaboration helps identify vulnerabilities and mitigate weak points. The company also incorporates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into its privacy framework, using traceability to validate supply chain data and meet regulatory requirements. When it comes to managing emerging technologies like AI, foundational privacy principles apply. Companies need to establish governance for data quality, prompt management, third-party vendors, and automated tools, such as AI notetakers. These steps build transparency, reduce risk, and strengthen trust across the organization.  In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels talk with Robert “Bob” Jett, Global Chief Data Privacy Officer at Bunge, about building and leading a global privacy program. Bob emphasizes the importance of embedding privacy leadership into operational teams, like IT departments, to enable collaboration and build trust. He discusses strategies for adhering to ESG principles, managing global employee data privacy, and applying privacy fundamentals to AI governance. Bob also provides tips for responsible AI use, including the importance of prompt engineering oversight, and explains why relationship-building and transparency are essential for effective global privacy and security programs.

Today we're talking with health and nutrition expert Dr. Stuart Gillespie, author of a new book entitled Food Fight: from Plunder and Profit to People and Planet. Using decades of research and insight gathered from around the world, Dr. Gillespie wants to reimagine our global food system and plot a way forward to a sustainable, equitable, and healthy food future - one where our food system isn't making us sick. Certainly not the case now. Over the course of his career, Dr. Gillespie has worked with the UN Standing Committee on Nutrition in Geneva with UNICEF in India and with the International Food Policy Research Institute, known as IFPRI, where he's led initiatives tackling the double burden of malnutrition and agriculture and health research. He holds a PhD in human nutrition from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Interview Summary So, you've really had a global view of the agriculture system, and this is captured in your book. And to give some context to our listeners, in your book, you describe the history of the global food system, how it's evolved into this system, sort of warped, if you will, into a mechanism that creates harm and it destroys more than it produces. That's a pretty bold statement. That it destroys more than it produces, given how much the agriculture around the world does produce. Tell us a bit more if you would. Yes, that statement actually emerged from recent work by the Food Systems Economic Commission. And they costed out the damage or the downstream harms generated by the global food system at around $15 trillion per year, which is 12% of GDP. And that manifests in various ways. Health harms or chronic disease. It also manifests in terms of climate crisis and risks and environmental harms, but also. Poverty of food system workers at the front line, if you like. And it's largely because we have a system that's anachronistic. It's a system that was built in a different time, in a different century for a different purpose. It was really started to come together after the second World War. To mass produce cheap calories to prevent famine, but also through the Green Revolution, as that was picking up with the overproduction of staples to use that strategically through food aid to buffer the West to certain extent from the spread of communism. And over time and over the last 50 years of neoliberal policies we've got a situation where food is less and less viewed as a human right, or a basic need. It's seen as a commodity and the system has become increasingly financialized. And there's a lot of evidence captured by a handful of transnationals, different ones at different points in the system from production to consumption. But in each case, they wield huge amounts of power. And that manifests in various ways. We have, I think a system that's anachronistic The point about it, and the problem we have, is that it's a system revolves around maximizing profit and the most profitable foods and products of those, which are actually the least healthy for us as individuals. And it's not a system that's designed to nourish us. It's a system designed to maximize profit. And we don't have a system that really aims to produce whole foods for people. We have a system that produces raw ingredients for industrial formulations to end up as ultra processed foods. We have a system that produces cattle feed and, and biofuels, and some whole foods. But it, you know, that it's so skewed now, and we see the evidence all around us that it manifests in all sorts of different ways. One in three people on the planet in some way malnourished. We have around 12 million adult deaths a year due to diet related chronic disease. And I followed that from colonial times that, that evolution and the way it operates and the way it moves across the world. And what is especially frightening, I think, is the speed at which this so-called nutrition transition or dietary transition is happening in lower income or middle income countries. We saw this happening over in the US and we saw it happening in the UK where I am. And then in Latin America, and then more Southeast Asia, then South Asia. Now, very much so in Sub-Saharan Africa where there is no regulation really, apart from perhaps South Africa. So that's long answer to your intro question. Let's dive into a couple of things that you brought up. First, the Green Revolution. So that's a term that many of our listeners will know and they'll understand what the Green Revolution is, but not everybody. Would you explain what that was and how it's had these effects throughout the food systems around the world? Yes, I mean around the, let's see, about 1950s, Norman Borlag, who was a crop breeder and his colleagues in Mexico discovered through crop breeding trials, a high yielding dwarf variety. But over time and working with different partners, including well in India as well, with the Swaminathan Foundation. And Swaminathan, for example, managed to perfect these new strains. High yielding varieties that doubled yields for a given acreage of land in terms of staples. And over time, this started to work with rice, with wheat, maize and corn. Very dependent on fertilizers, very dependent on pesticides, herbicides, which we now realize had significant downstream effects in terms of environmental harms. But also, diminishing returns in as much as, you know, that went through its trajectory in terms of maximizing productivity. So, all the Malthusian predictions of population growth out running our ability to feed the planet were shown to not to be true. But it also generated inequity that the richest farmers got very rich, very quickly, the poorer farmers got slightly richer, but that there was this large gap. So, inequity was never really properly dealt with through the Green Revolution in its early days. And that overproduction and the various institutions that were set in place, the manner in which governments backed off any form of regulation for overproduction. They continued to subsidize over production with these very large subsidies upstream, meant that we are in the situation we are now with regard to different products are being used to deal with that excess over production. So, that idea of using petroleum-based inputs to create the foods in the first place. And the large production of single crops has a lot to do with that Green Revolution that goes way back to the 1950s. It's interesting to see what it's become today. It's sort of that original vision multiplied by a billion. And boy, it really does continue to have impacts. You know, it probably was the forerunner to genetically modified foods as well, which I'd like to ask you about in a little bit. But before I do that, you said that much of the world's food supply is governed by a pretty small number of players. So who are these players? If you look at the downstream retail side, you have Nestle, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, General Mills, Unilever. Collectively around 70% of retail is governed by those companies. If you look upstream in terms of agricultural and agribusiness, you have Cargill, ADM, Louis Dreyfus, and Bunge. These change to a certain extent. What doesn't change very much are the numbers involved that are very, very small and that the size of these corporations is so large that they have immense power. And, so those are the companies that we could talk about what that power looks like and why it's problematic. But the other side of it's here where I am in the UK, we have a similar thing playing out with regard to store bought. Food or products, supermarkets that control 80% as Tesco in the UK, Asta, Sainsbury's, and Morrisons just control. You have Walmart, you have others, and that gives them immense power to drive down the costs that they will pay to producers and also potentially increase the cost that they charge as prices of the products that are sold in these supermarkets. So that profit markup, profit margins are in increased in their favor. They can also move around their tax liabilities around the world because they're transnational. And that's just the economic market and financial side on top of that. And as you know, there's a whole raft of political ways in which they use this power to infiltrate policy, influence policy through what I've called in Chapter 13, the Dark Arts of Policy Interference. Your previous speaker, Murray Carpenter, talked about that with regard to Coca-Cola and that was a very, yeah, great example. But there are many others. In many ways these companies have been brilliant at adapting to the regulatory landscape, to the financial incentives, to the way the agriculture system has become warped. I mean, in some ways they've done the warping, but in a lot of ways, they're adapting to the conditions that allow warping to occur. And because they've invested so heavily, like in manufacturing plants to make high fructose corn syrup or to make biofuels or things like that. It'd be pretty hard for them to undo things, and that's why they lobby so strongly in favor of keeping the status quo. Let me ask you about the issue of power because you write about this in a very compelling way. And you talk about power imbalances in the food system. What does that look like in your mind, and why is it such a big part of the problem? Well, yes. And power manifests in different ways. It operates sometimes covertly, sometimes overtly. It manifests at different levels from, you know, grassroots level, right up to national and international in terms of international trade. But what I've described is the way markets are captured or hyper concentrated. That power that comes with these companies operating almost like a cartel, can be used to affect political or to dampen down, block governments from regulating them through what I call a five deadly Ds: dispute or dispute or doubt, distort, distract, disguise, and dodge. And you've written very well Kelly, with I think Kenneth Warner about the links between big food and big tobacco and the playbook and the realization on the part of Big Tobacco back in the '50s, I think, that they couldn't compete with the emerging evidence of the harms of smoking. They had to secure the science. And that involved effectively buying research or paying for researchers to generate a raft of study shown that smoking wasn't a big deal or problem. And also, public relations committees, et cetera, et cetera. And we see the same happening with big food. Conflicts of interest is a big deal. It needs to be avoided. It can't be managed. And I think a lot of people think it is just a question of disclosure. Disclosure is never enough of conflict of interest, almost never enough. We have, in the UK, we have nine regulatory bodies. Every one of them has been significantly infiltrated by big food, including the most recent one, which has just been designated to help develop a national food stretch in the UK. We've had a new government here and we thought things were changing, beginning to wonder now because big food is on that board or on that committee. And it shouldn't be, you know. It shouldn't be anywhere near the policy table anyway. That's so it's one side is conflict of interest. Distraction: I talk about corporate social responsibility initiatives and the way that they're designed to distract. On the one hand, if you think of a person on a left hand is doing these wonderful small-scale projects, which are high visibility and they're doing good. In and off themselves they're doing good. But they're small scale. Whereas the right hand is a core business, which is generating harm at a much larger scale. And the left hand is designed to distract you from the right hand. So that distraction, those sort of corporate CSR initiatives are a big part of the problem. And then 'Disguise' is, as you know, with the various trade associations and front groups, which acted almost like Trojan horses, in many ways. Because the big food companies are paying up as members of these committees, but they don't get on the program of these international conferences. But the front groups do and the front groups act on in their interests. So that's former disguise or camouflage. The World Business Council on Sustainable Development is in the last few years, has been very active in the space. And they have Philip Morris on there as members, McDonald's and Nestle, Coke, everybody, you know. And they deliberately actually say It's all fine. That we have an open door, which I, I just can't. I don't buy it. And there are others. So, you know, I think these can be really problematic. The other thing I should mention about power and as what we've learned more about, if you go even upstream from the big food companies, and you look at the hedge funds and the asset management firms like Vanguard, state Capital, BlackRock, and the way they've been buying up shares of big food companies and blocking any moves in annual general meetings to increase or improve the healthiness of portfolios. Because they're so powerful in terms of the number of shares they hold to maximize profit for pension funds. So, we started to see the pressure that is being put on big food upstream by the nature of the system, that being financialized, even beyond the companies themselves, you know? You were mentioning that these companies, either directly themselves or through their front organizations or the trade association block important things that might be done in agriculture. Can you think of an example of that? Yes, well actually I did, with some colleagues here in the UK, the Food Foundation, an investigation into corporate lobbying during the previous conservative government. And basically, in the five years after the pandemic, we logged around 1,400 meetings between government ministers and big food. Then we looked at the public interest NGOs and the number of meetings they had over that same period, and it was 35, so it was a 40-fold difference. Oh goodness. Which I was actually surprised because I thought they didn't have to do much because the Tory government was never going to really regulate them anyway. And you look in the register, there is meant to be transparency. There are rules about disclosure of what these lobbying meetings were meant to be for, with whom, for what purpose, what outcome. That's just simply not followed. You get these crazy things being written into the those logs like, 'oh, we had a meeting to discuss business, and that's it.' And we know that at least what happened in the UK, which I'm more familiar with. We had a situation where constantly any small piecemeal attempt to regulate, for example, having a watershed at 9:00 PM so that kids could not see junk food advertised on their screens before 9:00 PM. That simple regulation was delayed, delayed. So, delay is actually another D you know. It is part of it. And that's an example of that. That's a really good example. And you've reminded me of an example where Marian Nestle and I wrote an op-ed piece in the New York Times, many years ago, on an effort by the WHO, the World Health Organization to establish a quite reasonable guideline for how much added sugar people should have in their diet. And the sugar industry stepped in in the biggest way possible. And there was a congressional caucus on sugar or something like that in our US Congress and the sugar industry and the other players in the food industry started interacting with them. They put big pressure on the highest levels of the US government to pressure the WHO away from this really quite moderate reasonable sugar standard. And the US ultimately threatened the World Health Organization with taking away its funding just on one thing - sugar. Now, thankfully the WHO didn't back down and ultimately came out with some pretty good guidelines on sugar that have been even stronger over the years. But it was pretty disgraceful. That's in the book that, that story is in the book. I think it was 2004 with the strategy on diet, physical activity. And Tommy Thompson was a health secretary and there were all sorts of shenanigans and stories around that. Yes, that is a very powerful example. It was a crazy power play and disgraceful how our government acted and how the companies acted and all the sort of deceitful ways they did things. And of course, that's happened a million times. And you gave the example of all the discussions in the UK between the food industry and the government people. So, let's get on to something more positive. What can be done? You can see these massive corporate influences, revolving doors in government, a lot of things that would argue for keeping the status quo. So how in the world do you turn things around? Yeah, good question. I really believe, I've talked about a lot of people. I've looked a lot of the evidence. I really believe that we need a systemic sort of structural change and understanding that's not going to happen overnight. But ultimately, I think there's a role for a government, citizens civil society, media, academics, food industry, obviously. And again, it's different between the UK and US and elsewhere in terms of the ability and the potential for change. But governments have to step in and govern. They have to set the guardrails and the parameters. And I talk in the book about four key INs. So, the first one is institutions in which, for example, there's a power to procure healthy food for schools, for hospitals, clinics that is being underutilized. And there's some great stories of individuals. One woman from Kenya who did this on her own and managed to get the government to back it and to scale it up, which is an incredible story. That's institutions. The second IN is incentives, and that's whereby sugar taxes, or even potentially junk food taxes as they have in Columbia now. And reforming the upstream subsidies on production is basically downregulating the harmful side, if you like, of the food system, but also using the potential tax dividend from that side to upregulate benefits via subsidies for low-income families. Rebalancing the system. That's the incentive side. The other side is information, and that involves labeling, maybe following the examples from Latin America with regard to black octagons in Chile and Mexico and Brazil. And dietary guidelines not being conflicted, in terms of conflicts of interest. And actually, that's the fourth IN: interests. So ridding government advisory bodies, guideline committees, of conflicts of interests. Cleaning up lobbying. Great examples in a way that can be done are from Canada and Ireland that we found. That's government. Citizens, and civil society, they can be involved in various ways exposing, opposing malpractice if you like, or harmful action on the part of industry or whoever else, or the non-action on the part of the government. Informing, advocating, building social movements. Lots I think can be learned through activist group in other domains or in other disciplines like HIV, climate. I think we need to make those connections much more. Media. I mean, the other thought is that the media have great, I mean in this country at least, you know, politicians tend to follow the media, or they're frightened of the media. And if the media turned and started doing deep dive stories of corporate shenanigans and you know, stuff that is under the radar, that would make a difference, I think. And then ultimately, I think then our industry starts to respond to different signals or should do or would do. So that in innovation is not just purely technological aimed at maximizing profit. It may be actually social. We need social innovation as well. There's a handful of things. But ultimately, I actually don't think the food system is broken because it is doing the wrong thing for the wrong reason. I think we need to change the system, and I'll say that will take time. It needs a real transformation. One, one last thing to say about that word transformation. Where in meetings I've been in over the last 10 years, so many people invoke food system transformation when they're not really talking about it. They're just talking about tweaking the margins or small, piecemeal ad hoc changes or interventions when we need to kind of press all the buttons or pull all the levers to get the kind of change that we need. And again, as I say, it was going to take some time, but we have to start moving that direction. Do you think there's reason to be hopeful and are there success stories you can point to, to make us feel a little bit better? Yeah, and I like that word, hope. I've just been reading a lot of essays from, actually, Rebecca Solnit has been writing a lot about hope as a warrior emotion. Radical hope, which it's different to optimism. Optimism went, oh, you know, things probably will be okay, but hope you make it. It's like a springboard for action. So I, yes, I'm hopeful and I think there are plenty of examples. Actually, a lot of examples from Latin America of things changing, and I think that's because they've been hit so fast, so hard. And I write in the book about what's happened in the US and UK it's happened over a period of, I don't know, 50, 60 years. But what's happened and is happening in Latin America has happened in just like 15 years. You know, it's so rapid that they've had to respond fast or get their act together quickly. And that's an interesting breed of activist scholars. You know, I think there's an interesting group, and again, if we connect across national boundaries across the world, we can learn a lot from that. There are great success stories coming out Chile from the past that we've seen what's happening in Mexico. Mexico was in a terrible situation after Vicente Fox came in, in the early 2000s when he brought all his Coca-Cola pals in, you know, the classic revolving door. And Mexico's obesity and diabetes went off to scale very quickly. But they're the first country with the sugar tax in 2014. And you see the pressure that was used to build the momentum behind that. Chile, Guido Girardi and the Black Octagon labels with other interventions. Rarely is it just one thing. It has to be a comprehensive across the board as far as possible. So, in Brazil, I think we will see things happening more in, in Thailand and Southeast Asia. We see things beginning to happen in India, South Africa. The obesity in Ghana, for example, changed so rapidly. There are some good people working in Ghana. So, you know, I think a good part of this is actually documenting those kind of stories as, and when they happen and publicizing them, you know. The way you portrayed the concept of hope, I think is a really good one. And when I asked you for some examples of success, what I was expecting you, you might say, well, there was this program and this part of a one country in Africa where they did something. But you're talking about entire countries making changes like Chile and Brazil and Mexico. That makes me very hopeful about the future when you get governments casting aside the influence of industry. At least long enough to enact some of these things that are definitely not in the best interest of industry, these traditional food companies. And that's all, I think, a very positive sign about big scale change. And hopefully what happens in these countries will become contagious in other countries will adopt them and then, you know, eventually they'll find their way to countries like yours and mine. Yes, I agree. That's how I see it. I used to do a lot of work on single, small interventions and do their work do they not work in this small environment. The problem we have is large scale, so we have to be large scale as well. BIO Dr. Stuart Gillespie has been fighting to transform our broken food system for the past 40 years.

According to research from Harvard Business Review, only 28% of executives believe their organization’s strategies were understood and executed effectively. So, how can you effectively define, execute, and optimize your go-to-market initiatives with your enablement tech stack? Shawnna Sumaoang: Hi, and welcome to the Win-Win podcast. I’m your host, Shawnna Sumaoang. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic is Zoran Vulic. Thank you for joining us, Zoran. I’d love you to tell us about yourself, your background, and your role. Zoran Vulic: Thanks for having me. I appreciate the opportunity. My name is Zoran Vulic. I work at Bunge in the North American Oils Group. Been with the organization for about nine years now, focused on communications and digital strategy and have been somewhat new to the food space, which is fun’s wheelhouse. So I’m kind of someone that’s not necessarily a typical marketer that’s in the food space. I’d probably classify myself as a digital native first in that space. So a little bit different and so. When I came to the organization with Bunge, they were looking to change some of their go-to-market strategies. They’re come a little bit stale and wanted to increase some of the value that we offer our customers and looking to expand into different markets and be able to service our customers in different ways. SS: Amazing. Well, I’m glad that you are with the organization and joining us today on this podcast as a marketing leader, what are some of the key go-to-market initiatives that you’re focused on driving this year, and what business outcomes are you aiming to impact through these initiatives? ZV: We focus on, or we service two main customer subsets within the North American Oils Group, one of ’em being food manufacturers and the other one being our food service operators. These are closely aligned with our annual go-to-market strategies and our annual commercial initiatives, and they’re really focused on expanding our products in adjacent markets. Launching new products within our target market groups, focusing on markets where we know that there is high growth potential, and then offering solutions across the entire value chain. So from, you know, your lowest commodity products, all the way up to your value added products. And these outcomes are really closely aligned with our annual go-to-market strategies, which we collaborate with all the different business functions within our organization, within the oils group within North America. SS: Amazing. And I love how you are. Aligning kind of your strategies with the the organization’s goals. I think that’s amazing, and I know it’s one of your strengths, especially as you kind of analyze how they’re doing. What are some of your best practices for ensuring this alignment as you execute your go-to-market initiatives? ZV: A long, long time ago, one of my managers at a different organization had this quote that he offered me because I was very, very ambitious and veryy eager and anxious to get going and moving quickly. And he said to me, he said, Zoran, if you want to go fast, you go by yourself. If you want to go far, you bring other people with you. And so I’ve really lent into that, which is in order to get all the organization rowing in the same direction, we need to be able to socialize these plans. So part of our process is meeting on a quarterly basis and when we’re doing our planning. For 2025, we met as an organization, all the different functional groups. And we talk about these are the plans that we have that we’re going to execute on in 2025, and here’s why they make sense. And then here are the different functions and here are the different tasks at each of those different groups. So we’re talking about sales marketing. Customer service, supply chain, product line management, all understanding that these are the key initiatives that we’re going to be executing on in the coming year. And here is how you know the flow of activities is going to happen. This has kind of been a project of mine is also taking a data-first approach to this, which is really looking at, okay, what information or what data do we have available to us that can help us inform. How we’re progressing? Are we trending in the right direction? Are we trending in the wrong direction? And very simply do more things that work and do less things that don’t work. And when you use data, you take away the emotion from it, and it allows you just to be more. Simplified in your approach in terms of how you can make some of those changes as you’re executing these strategies. SS: I love that. And I know a key initiative you’re focused on is your annual category-specific commercial initiatives. Can you share more about this effort and the outcomes that you’re aiming for and how you plan to leverage Highspot initiatives to support it? ZV: Yeah, so when we implemented Highspot, one of the things that really led us to this particular solution was how structured the approach was in terms of how we leverage the tools that are available to us. And so for some of our commercial initiatives, we’re looking to move people up a value chain. Very simply put, how do we move them from one particular product to another particular product that meets their needs in that inherently the customer sees value in part of that comes through, number one, socializing the information to the different stakeholders that need to be aware. So those include a lot of those different functions that I was talking about previously to you, which was supply chain management, product line management, sales, marketing, customer service. On top of that, what we’re gonna do is now we’re going to, again, teach our sellers, or at least provide them the information that they need to educate themselves on why is this important to their customers. After we’ve done that, it’s now, okay, what are the key messages that we want to communicate to those customers? And then very simply, what is it that we want to show them? What are our proof points that allow us to validate the claims that we’re making? And then what are the specific tools that we have enabled for our sellers to be able to do that across all the different categories and across all the initiatives? So we’re really standardizing that approach. And then based on the market that we’re speaking to, we’re providing customized, personalized solutions specific to that audience. That audience is both internal, so the people that are working on behalf of this particular initiative, then the information is really personalized and geared towards that external audience as well. SS: I love that. And you talked about this, you touched on it a little bit, how a key part of building an initiative in Highspot is really making sure that you’re aligning on the materials you’re using to drive the outcomes. You touched on ’em a little bit, like plays digital rooms training. Can you share how you’ve identified the resources that you’re using to support your initiatives, like the annual category-specific commercial initiative? ZV: Yeah, so when we talk about those annual category initiatives, a lot of the time it’s what type of information is the seller going to need in order to communicate this directly to the customer. And then from that position, we then take a look at, okay, what does the customer know and what does the customer not know? Meaning is this a complex problem that they have? And does this require. Certain materials. Does this require video in terms to explain a very intricate processes that requires a little bit more knowledge and education building versus, you know, some of the more simplified versions, which are, what is the content that we need to get in front of a potential customer to, again, explain the value proposition of what problem we’re solving for them? So we’ll do an audit of what specific materials do we currently have within our database? And then understand whether this is going to be a new build, or do we have something that we can fast adapt where we have information that is about, you know, 60% relevant and we have to do a little bit of personalization specific to the category. Or the initiative that allows us then to get to market a little bit quicker. It also helps, I’ll say this, it also helps because you can then start focusing your dollars, so your marketing budgets more efficiently, because now I’m focused on dollars that are specifically to attract customers rather than developing some of those materials. So those are some of the relevant pieces we look at when we’re trying to come up with these strategies. SS: Got it. And you recently started using the initiative scorecards to measure the impact of your go-to-market efforts. How are you using or planning to use these insights to assess the performance of your initiatives and, and really optimize your go-to-market success? ZV: Yeah. So when initiatives came out, my colleague Paul Higgs and I, were in Seattle for the Spark Conference last year in 2024. And when it got rolled out, I elbowed Paul when we were sitting in one of the sessions and I said, this is it. I can now align this with campaigns. I really hope they’re gonna tell me that I can align this stuff with campaigns, and I know that Highspot is working on that, but really that’s, you know, because I’m looking at it from like an end-to-end solution. So what information are we doing or what activities are we doing to help inform customers at the begin, which is, you know, really building that pipeline for customers, whether they be existing customers that people that we know, or they’re new customers that we’re trying to attract. And then as we push them through that funnel, we’re, you know, getting some engagement with them. We’re communicating with them, whether that be on a digital platform or not. And then once we’ve warmed those leads up, or once we’ve provided some of that context to the sellers, any of those leads that now have converted where they’re looking for some type of sales outreach, we’ve now got a plan. Which is our sales play that the sellers can then leverage. And so then we can measure that activities all the way through. So now I can say, okay, a year from now when we’re looking at launching a new product in a new specific market, I’ve now got some data to say, here’s the type of effort that’s gonna be required in order to get the results that we’re looking for. And previous to this, we didn’t have that. And so this is like quite a big win for us in terms of the Marco function, which is we can really partner with the business and say, you know, and provide some insights to them that, that now go from, you know, from ideation all the way through to commercialization and opportunities that are now being won and customers that are purchasing the product and having some success with it, we’re now able to say, okay, here’s the effort that’s gonna be required. And again, communicating that throughout the organization, through a system like our CRM system is salesforce.com. So again, like that close integration between those two, that was obviously a big selling feature for us of making sure that we keep all that information within the same ecosystem because it allows for decisions to be made in a quicker, more streamlined fashion. SS: Absolutely. How are you going about socializing and actioning the insights that you’re starting to glean from the Initiative Scorecard? ZV: I’m gonna say I’m probably pretty lucky in this respect where part of our organization we have. Business planning meetings that we have on a monthly basis, and part of those business plan meetings is we socialize and we communicate the results from these initiatives that we have. So it’s already built in. The good thing is, is that I’m not telling necessarily a story. I’m providing data. And then providing context around the data. So the data is the story, and now what I’m doing is simply providing the context to say, Hey, this is why these initiatives are moving in this direction. These are why these initiatives are moving in this direction. Here’s the course correction that we would need. And again, that’s a collaborative approach. So. All the different functions are in there, so it comes across as quite collaborative within the organization where we’re all singing from the same song sheet and all rolling in the same direction. SS: I think that that is an amazing win in and of itself. And long term, what value do you believe the initiative scorecard can bring to your organization? How do you see it helping you achieve your goals? ZV: Number one is very much aligning. I. Our go-to-market strategy with the initiatives that we understand that the organization has identified as being the ones that are going to be key on an annual basis. Then having those key initiatives merchandised in an initiative, and then that initiative attached to a sales play, a sales play that then has all the different assets that all of that stuff is now rolling up. So now we can take a look at all that effort that we’ve. Communicated and created specifically for end user customers and then also our internal customers. So our sales teams and any of the other functions that need to be aware of the initiatives. All that rolls up together and now we’re able to communicate that out to the audiences. SS: Amazing, amazing. I love that. Since implementing Highspot, what business results have you achieved and do you have any wins you can share? ZV: Yeah, there’s a couple wins I can share. I’d say the biggest win for us internally within our sales org is we had a very decentralized process in terms of where materials were stored and housed and, and how sellers would actually access it. And as a result of that, we had a lot of noise within the Marco function of sellers and sales directors, where can I find this? Where can I get this? How do I get this? How do I get that? That has virtually been eliminated, which in and itself allows any of the functions that are working on these commercial initiatives now to focus more their attention on, okay, analyzing results, understanding where we have. Gaps in our portfolio in terms of what information we can provide our sellers, which then roll up to our customers. And I’d say like the, the secondary one now that we’re, myself and Paul are working on, is really embedding this in the ways that we work. So really focusing on how can we deliver some of these. Materials and these insights and these assets directly to our sellers in the systems that they operate in. So a little bit of a uphill climb, I would say, for our sellers in that we’re transitioning more to a Salesforce-driven operation versus more of the traditional telephone email. Processes that they’ve been involved in, there has been some noticeable changes. So one of the things that I can absolutely share with you is that since implementing Highspot, we have seen a 36% increase in our win rate When we have our sellers share content through the system, we’re looking obviously to expand on that. Coming in the rest of 2025 and then really, really drive home the sales plays that we are utilizing that support those commercial initiatives. And again, we’ve got very good alignment from the executive team in that they all understand that this is where the sellers and any of the functions that are involved in working on the commercial initiatives, this is where all the information is going to be stored and this is how it’s gonna be, uh, communicated out to our customers. SS: Amazing. Last question for you, Zoran, to close. What is the biggest piece of advice that you would give other marketing leaders looking to lead, go-to-market initiatives that really deliver measurable outcomes? ZV: Get alignment with your executive team. That is the biggest aha moment I had when we were implementing Highspot. And then once we implemented, once we understood how this could alter and guide our sales process. To support these commercial initiatives. It was very much like hand-in-glove type of, uh, alignment where the initiatives are being communicated to the various groups that are supporting them. And then we’re providing those assets to support those initiatives in a manner that makes it efficient. And I think that’s kind of like the biggest thing is where you can gain efficiencies. You should because there’s the one commodity that you can’t buy, which is time. And then the other commodity is people’s attention. So if you can get people’s attention, because these are the things that are important, and if they’re important to the executive team, that likely means they’re gonna be important to the people that report into the executive team, so that definitely helps. That would be probably my biggest piece of advice get alignment with your executive team and be very, very clear about here’s how this particular solution can help meet those goals that you have. SS: I love that. And to your point, having that conversation underpinned with the data just makes it a much more real conversation that the business can then optimize again. So I love that advice. Thank you again so much for joining us. I really appreciate the time. ZV: Thank you for having me. SS: To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win-Win podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize enablement success with Highspot.

En el capítulo del libro del Dr. Francisco Grande Covián La Alimentación y la Vida, que abordamos hoy, el investigador nos traslada desde la actualidad hasta hace más de doscientos años para recuperar la memoria del gran fisiólogo francés François Magendie. Fue este científico quien, en sus experimentos con animales, realizó la primera observación indicativa de la existencia de la vitamina A. Sin embargo, como sucedió con Gustav von Bunge, del que hablamos en el episodio anterior, la contribución de Magendie no fue debidamente reconocida. Escuchad y disfrutad con la primera parte de la interesante historia que, con su habitual maestría, el Dr. Grande Covián nos ofrece hoy, y acabará de ofrecernos en el siguiente episodio de Quilo in Memoriam.

En el capítulo de su libro La Alimentación y la Vida que abordamos hoy, el Dr. Grande Covián nos traslada casi a los inicios de la historia de la nutrición, a un tiempo en el que no se conocían aún las vitaminas. Nos explica con bastante detalle unos experimentos pioneros y fundamentales que condujeron por primera vez a sospechar no solo de su existencia, sino a considerar la conclusión de que debían existir sustancias orgánicas que, en muy pequeña cantidad, eran indispensables para el crecimiento de los animales jóvenes y para la salud de ellos y de los animales adultos. Se trataba en efecto de las vitaminas. Os invitamos a escuchar este nuevo episodio de Quilo In Memoriam, en honor del ilustre científico español Francisco Grande Covián.
