Podcasts about Kraft Heinz

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Jane Ostler from Kantar, the world's leading marketing data and analytics company, whose clients include Google, Diageo, AB InBev, Unilever, and Kraft Heinz. Jane brings clarity to a debate often clouded by headlines, explaining why AI should be seen as a creative sparring partner, not a rival. She outlines how Kantar is helping brands balance efficiency with inspiration, and why the best marketing in the years ahead will come from humans and machines working together. We explore Kantar's research into how marketers really feel about AI adoption, uncovering why so many projects stall in pilot phase, and what steps can help teams move from experimentation to execution. Jane also discusses the importance of data quality as the foundation of effective AI, drawing comparisons to the early days of GDPR when oversight and governance first became front of mind. From Coca-Cola's AI-assisted Christmas ads to predictive analytics that help brands allocate budgets with greater confidence, Jane shares examples of where AI is already shaping marketing in ways that might surprise you. She also highlights the importance of cultural nuance in AI-driven campaigns across 90-plus markets, and why transparency, explainability, and human oversight are vital for earning consumer trust. Whether you're a CMO weighing AI strategy, a brand manager experimenting with new tools, or someone curious about how the biggest advertisers are reshaping their playbooks, this conversation with Jane Ostler offers both inspiration and practical guidance. It's about rethinking AI not as the end of creativity, but as the beginning of a new partnership between data, machines, and human imagination.

Welcome to our special coverage from Automate 2025, recorded directly at the Siemens booth. In this episode of Manufacturing Hub, hosts Vlad Romanov and Dave Griffith sit down with Chris Stevens and Annemarie Breu from Siemens to explore the evolving landscape of manufacturing resilience, digital twins, and automation lifecycle management.This conversation dives into how manufacturers can prepare for disruptions, scale pilot projects into real business outcomes, and adopt technologies that make factories more flexible and robust. Chris highlights the importance of people and processes in delivering exceptional customer experiences, while Annemarie emphasizes how scaling technology deployments creates measurable business impact. Together, they outline how Siemens is helping manufacturers move from isolated pilots to large scale adoption, ultimately strengthening resilience and competitiveness in today's uncertain environment.We examine the meaning of manufacturing resilience in practice, including how to withstand supply chain shocks, tariffs, and workforce challenges. The discussion also covers workforce empowerment and the need to make manufacturing attractive again, not only by deploying advanced technologies but also by enabling teams to own solutions from the ground up.A major theme is the role of the digital twin. Chris and Annemarie explain why starting in the virtual world is essential to validate designs, optimize processes, and minimize downtime risks. They address how digital twin adoption is becoming more accessible through as a service delivery models and collaborative environments where end users, system integrators, and technology providers all contribute.We also look at the connection between copilot technologies and both operations and engineering. Natural language copilots are enabling operators to troubleshoot equipment quickly and engineers to interact with simulation environments more intuitively. This shift is accelerating adoption while reducing barriers to advanced tools.Finally, the episode touches on automation lifecycle management, drawing parallels to product lifecycle management. By centralizing and version controlling automation artifacts such as PLC programs, HMI projects, and industrial edge applications, Siemens is paving the way for resilient and adaptable operations.If you are curious about the future of resilient manufacturing, digital twins, and adaptive automation, this episode provides both strategic and practical insights.Timestamps00:00 Introduction live from Automate 2025 at Siemens booth01:00 Guest introductions and roles at Siemens02:00 Defining manufacturing resilience in today's environment04:00 Workforce challenges and empowering teams to drive adoption05:00 Why digital twin is the starting point for resilient operations07:00 Digital twin adoption for small and medium manufacturers09:00 Collaborative engineering environments and the metaverse10:00 Challenges and opportunities at the cutting edge of automation11:00 Copilot technologies for operators and engineers12:30 Connecting digital twins with copilots across engineering and operations13:30 Automation lifecycle management explained14:30 Future deep dive preview on automation lifecycle managementReferences mentioned in this episodeSiemens Digital Industries: https://www.siemens.com/global/en/products/automation.htmlJeff Burnstein and Automate coverage: https://www.automateshow.com/About the hostsVlad Romanov is an engineer, consultant, and co host of the Manufacturing Hub Podcast.

The deal now looks to have been a big fat flop. Kraft Heinz's market value, at $32bn, is down by three fifths since the tie-up. The company expects its operating profit to fall by 5-10% this year. It is now said to be exploring a break-up. 知识点：venerable /ˈvenərəbl/, adj. deserving respect because of age, wisdom, or character （可敬的；值得尊敬的） • The venerable professor has been teaching for over 40 years.这位德高望重的教授已执教40余年。 获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！ 【节目介绍】 《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。 所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。 【适合谁听】 1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者 2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者 3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者 4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等） 【你将获得】 1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景 2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法 3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。

US Treasury Secretary Bessent said he will see US President Trump regarding the China tariff pause on Wednesday and some technical details remain on the China tariff pause, while the China tariff extension decision will be up to Trump and if he does not approve tariff pause extension, tariffs on Chinese goods would 'boomerang' back to April 2nd levels, or another level that he chooses.US President Trump said Chinese President Xi wants to meet and he thinks it will happen before the end of the year, while he stated that they will either approve the trade extension or not.

Kraft Heinz reported second quarter net sales of $6.35 billion and adjusted profit of 69 cents per share, exceeding analyst expectations. The company experienced a smaller decline in overall sales volumes compared to the previous quarter, with strong demand for sauces and condiments as more consumers cooked at home. Kraft Heinz introduced healthier product options and removed artificial ingredients to meet changing consumer preferences. The board is evaluating strategic options for certain brands, including a possible spin-off, and recorded a $9.3 billion impairment charge due to a decrease in market value. The company reaffirmed its annual targets, expects modest cost impacts from tariffs, and projects international growth while anticipating limited improvement in the U.S. market through 2025.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textThis week on The Skinny On, Kristen and Jen power through illness, time zone chaos, and toddler wrangling to bring you a jam-packed episode to break down two major consumer deals: Ferrero's $3.1B offer for Kellogg and the possible Heinz Kraft breakup. They explain why these legacy food brand split up, the logic behind reverse mergers and spin offs, and how wellness trends are shaping the M&A landscape.They also revisit the Kraft-Heinz saga—from Kraft's origins as a Philip Morris spinoff to its Cadbury takeover, spin off breaking into Kraft and Mondelez and eventual reverse merger with Heinz, backed by 3G Capital and Warren Buffett. It's a rare example of a mega-deal gone wrong, and Jen and Kristen unpack how the deal was structured, why it disappointed, and what Buffett's $12B investment ($4Bn of common and $8Bn of preferred equity) really meant. With Kraft-Heinz now considering a breakup to "unlock shareholder value," they examine the long arc of strategic separation as a financial tool—and its implications for investors.Finally, the duo pivots to Wall Street career trends, sharing firsthand stories of how trading desks once ruled the world, how quant roles are often misunderstood, and why sales & trading may be poised for a comeback. They reflect on the brutal pace of recruiting cycles, the importance of self-awareness in navigating early career decisions, and how the sexiest seat on the Street can change overnight.

President Donald Trump and U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick promised more than $90 billion in private sector investments for PA to become a hub for energy and AI at a CMU summit this week. We talk about potential projects like data centers, power plant upgrades, and natural gas pipelines — and how much of that cash is likely to affect us in Western Pennsylvania. Outside the summit, CMU students and environmental activists protested the visit, and at least a few were met with pepper spray and campus censorship. Meanwhile, someone recently went rogue on Rialto Street in Troy Hill, and the city had to cover up their mark. Plus, we share a few wins of the week, like Emmy nominations for “The Pitt” and an overhaul of our city streetlights — and losses, like the Kraft-Heinz breakup and PNC Park's big spending to make up for the Bucco Bricks disaster.

This week on the Omni Talk Retail Fast Five podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital, we dive into the biggest CPG story of the year. Kraft Heinz is preparing to break itself up a decade after the infamous merger orchestrated by Warren Buffett and Brazilian private equity firm 3G Capital Partners. The company plans to spin off a large chunk of its grocery business, including many Kraft products, into a new entity valued as much as $20 billion. This would leave a separate company housing faster-growing offerings like Heinz ketchup, Grey Poupon mustard, and hot sauces that align better with consumer preferences.

In this week's Omni Talk Retail Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and ClearDemand, A&M's Chad Lusk and David Brown joined Chris and Anne to discuss: Kraft Heinz's breakup plans – The food giant is preparing to spin off a large chunk of its grocery business into a new $20 billion entity, a decade after the infamous Warren Buffett-orchestrated merger Return to office mandates – Both Starbucks and Target issued new in-person work requirements, with Starbucks mandating four days (Monday-Thursday) and Target requiring three flexible days per week Tariff-driven inflation concerns – Consumer prices rose 2.7% in June as President Trump's tariffs push up costs on furniture, clothing, and appliances, potentially impacting holiday shopping Supermarkets losing younger shoppers – Gen Z, Millennials, and Gen X increasingly favor Walmart and Aldi over traditional supermarkets, with 22% of Gen Z shoppers choosing each retailer for their most recent grocery trip Shopify sets AI boundaries – The e-commerce platform is blocking agentic AI bots from completing purchases without human review, adding new restrictions to protect merchants from unauthorized automation And AWS's Daniele Stroppa also dropped by to help us hand out a new award we are giving out each month in partnership with AWS, and we are calling it the Retail Startup of the Month – this month's winner is Bria AI, a visual generative AI platform that helps brands create compliant, on-brand content at scale. There's all that, plus discussions on AI influencers taking Wimbledon by storm, cranky Nextdoor neighbors, and whether Alex Cooper was rightly booed at Wrigley Field last week.

Todd Kaplan believes legacy brands should feel as fresh as a track that just dropped. In his first ten months as CMO of Kraft Heinz North America, the former Pepsi disruptor has already launched DJ Mustard's limited-edition condiment, staged the Oscar Mayer “Wienie 500,” and watched each sell out or go viral in minutes. In this episode of The Courageous Podcast, Todd tells Ryan how his “collaborativity” sessions collapse client-agency walls so ideas can sprint from a cafeteria napkin to Grammy broadcast almost overnight. He explains why marketers must “play to win,” and how short steps plus a long vision keep 70 household staples evolving without losing their soul. From Nike's Kool-Aid sneakers to reviving 150-year-old pantry icons, Todd shows that speed, fun, and strategic risk are now table stakes for brands.

Het zakelijk imperium van Elon Musk raakt steeds meer met elkaar vermengd. Eerst ging X samen met start-up xAI, afgelopen weekend investeerde zijn SpaceX ineens 2 miljard dollar in xAI. Maar hij wil nóg verdergaan. Tesla-aandeelhouders moet stemmen over een investering in xAI. Beleggers moeten dus beslissen of ze geld willen uitgeven aan zijn privébedrijf. Daar staan we deze aflevering bij stil. Is het wel wenselijk dat beleggers geld stoppen in een onderneming van de topman? En gaat xAI Tesla ook echt verder helpen? Van de rijkste man van de wereld, door naar de rijkste van Frankrijk. Of nou ja, dat was hij. Bernard Arnault is namelijk zijn koppositie kwijt. De baas va LVMH duikelt op het rijkenlijstje, omdat het aandeel van LVMH het niet goed doet. Hermes doet dat wél. Je hoort waarom dat is.Hoor je ook meer over de heffingen van Trump. Europa wordt door hem eerder bestookt met torenhoge heffingen, dan een massamoordenaar.

And proxy season is only shareholder proposals and the anti woke? Are you fucking joking?No mention of the average approval for directors?No mention of the rise of activists - this is the most active year for activist investors in recent memory? Mike Levin has been cataloguing it on the Shareholder Primacy podcast - more activism, larger slates, more wins?Isn't the story how ISS and Glass Lewis ignore directors unless there's an activist involved? Or that views on how to measure director performance are shifting?No, the constant story we hear is about the 500 or so shareholder proposals that happen - not the 80,000 active directors that get a voteInvestors are racistPhilippine corporate governance hindered by highly concentrated ownership, OECD saysCONCENTRATED corporate ownership, particularly among family owned listed firms, undermines corporate governance, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said.“These ownership structures often blur the lines between ownership and management, which can lead to the appointment of successors based on family ties or loyalty rather than qualifications, increasing the risk of poor leadership and weak oversight,It said such controlling shareholders may choose to benefit themselves at the expense of minority shareholders through related-party transactions, asset transfers or the appropriation of company resources for personal or familial use.The OECD said corporate governance weaknesses and concentrated ownership structures continue to weigh on investor confidence in some Asian marketsI read the Sweden report - Sweden is majority dual class shareholders held by foundations, with power concentrated amongst white men even though they mandate 40% women on boardsMinority shareholders basically have no real rights, as the companies are owned by a web of family and foundation interests - but OECD said:… a shareholder with practical majority control of the votes in the company can exert significant control, but also that efficient governance requires there to be a shareholder, or a coalition of shareholders, that monitors the company, engages with the board, and proposes and votes on important matters such as the election of board directors. Dual class share structures have been allowed in Swedish law for over a century to facilitate such engagement.Extensive individual shareholder rights, allowing any shareholder (regardless of the size of their holdings) to add items to the agenda of the general shareholder meeting, to ask the board questions at the general shareholder meeting, and to challenge a decision by the general shareholder meeting in court (with the court being able to invalidate a decision and even replace it with another).So it's ok in Sweden for the majority of the market to be controlled because shareholders can go to the annual meeting and complain without power, but in Asia where they don't bother pretending it's bad?Companies are fucking with your votesPress Release: Deirdre Stanley to Join PayPal's Board of Directors - Jun 24, 2025Increase board size, add person… 19 days after the AGMNo mention of expansion in the proxy, no mention of Deidre StanleyData I have on executive searches suggests it takes an average of about 220 days to find a CEO - assume that it takes 50% of that to place a directorThat would mean PayPal likely started searching for Deidre to join the board at the beginning of March this yearThe proxy came out April 21, 2025 - for nearly two months, PayPal knew it would expand the board and add this person, but it never mentioned it in the proxy or allowed investors to vote on their own representation?I ran numbers on how often this happens - companies fucking with the timelines to add directors to their boards without votes less than 30 days after the AGM.

Tara dives into two explosive stories: the hidden dangers of America's food supply and the truth behind Iran's nuclear program. She exposes how U.S. food giants like Kraft Heinz and PepsiCo continue to use banned dyes and chemicals—illegal in Europe and Canada—while delaying their removal in the U.S. until after the 2026–2027 elections, possibly banking on a Democrat victory to reverse course. Meanwhile, she breaks down conflicting reports on the success of recent strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, highlighting CNN's shifting narratives and claims that the Biden administration is downplaying Trump-era military achievements. With expert analysis, political insight, and warnings about China's growing role, this segment ties together food safety, global conflict, and government deception.

Why did it take government pressure for Kraft Heinz to clean up its act? The hosts unpack the conglomerate's pledge to drop artificial dyes from its products by 2027, and what it says about Big Food's priorities. The episode also features interviews with the founders of two remarkable early-stage brands: Maura Duggan of Fancypants Baking Co. and Allison Elliott of Farmer Foodie. Show notes: 0:35: The Biggest Apple. Pin It, Emma. Hey, Big Food - Why Now? Gamey-Time. Clear Use Case. – The hosts review the recently held BevNET Live Summer 2025 in New York City and how the event reflected a sense of positive energy throughout the beverage industry as well as the growing power of founder-driven innovation to meet modern consumer demands.

She discusses the company's transition from fresh bakery sales to packaged consumer goods, emphasizing their commitment to high-quality, nut-free ingredients and their signature small, crunchy cookies. Maura highlights the strategic use of bright red packaging and a playful peacock mascot to stand out on shelves, the importance of limited-edition flavors to keep consumers engaged, and the advantages of self-manufacturing. 41:45: Interview: Alison Elliott, Founder & CEO, Farmer Foodie – Alison talks about the origins of Farmer Foodie, which is known for its shelf-stable, dairy-free and gluten-free Cashew Parm products, her background in farming and social impact and how she started Farmer Foodie as a food blog and transformed it into a CPG company during the pandemic.
