On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to us about all she's learned from the numerous guests on the show recently, from startup founders who build AI to simplify the chaotic insurance back office, to innovation leaders in Fortune 500 firms wrestling with ethics, regulation, and talent shortages. After dozens of conversations here's what Sabine has learned: AI isn't just changing our tools. It's changing our temperament. This episode is her reflection on those lessons; a guide for leaders and builders trying to navigate this new age of intelligence and unpacks five principles that define successful AI adoption. KEY TAKEAWAYS When Branch Insurance introduced AI into its claims process, something unexpected happened. It wasn't the customers who resisted, it was the adjusters. They were worried, not because AI made mistakes but because it didn't. When Lisa Bechtold's (who led AI governance at Zurich Insurance, now at Nestlé) team started implementing AI, they faced the classic dilemma: Move fast or move right. Lisa said: “We don't see governance as slowing innovation – we see it as enabling trust at speed.” ERGO Group worked with CamCom, a startup from India that uses computer vision to detect car damage from photos or drones. The tech was brilliant. The challenge? Integrating it into a multinational insurer's process. They didn't just hand over the product, they sat side by side – engineers, adjusters, compliance officers, even lawyers – to make it work. It took nearly a year to get from pilot to production and the result wasn't just faster claims; it was a new relationship model. The startup learned how corporates think. The corporate learned how startups move. That's the real win. After all the talk about data, systems, ethics, and pilots, what really matters is how humans evolve. AI won't replace people, but people who know how to use AI will replace people who don't. That's not a threat, it's an invitation. AI is already changing what we expect from talent. Claims adjusters now need to interpret AI outputs. Underwriters must question models. Leaders must learn to manage digital teammates. BEST MOMENTS  ‘Intelligent tool don't remove human judgment; they reveal it in higher resolution.'  ‘In this AI era, trust is the new currency.'‘Every AI dream dies in the shadow of bad data.'‘The irony is that the more intelligent our systems become, the more human our leadership must be. Empathy, creativity, ethics aren't data points, they're our differentiators.' ABOUT THE HOST Sabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur. She is the CEO and Managing Partner of Alchemy Crew a venture lab that accelerates the curation, validation, & commercialization of new tech business models. Sabine is renowned within the insurance sector for building some of the most renowned tech startup accelerators around the world working with over 30 corporate insurers, accelerated over 100 startup ventures. Sabine is the co-editor of the bestseller The INSURTECH Book, a top 50 Women in Tech, a FinTech and InsurTech Influencer, an investor & multi-award winner.

On this episode of Practical Pivots, marketing veteran Rachel Shayne, of B2B R&D, unpacks why “brand is your moat” and how the real challenge isn't besting your competitors, but cutting through marketplace confusion. From her insights working with technical founders, Shayne lays out her playbook for building resilient, memorable brands in complex industries. Whether you're leading a high-growth tech venture or steering strategy in a legacy sector, this interview offers the candid perspective and actionable inspiration today's business decision-makers crave.About Rachel Rachel Shayne is a fractional CMO and brand strategist known for translating complex clean-tech and energy science into market conviction. She has helped create entirely new categories across methane monitoring, geothermal baseload power, and other frontier sectors—using disciplined storytelling to move customers, investors, and industries.Her career spans global consumer powerhouses such as P&G, Nestlé, and Sephora, as well as some of the most innovative climate-tech and deep-tech companies, including GreenFire Energy, LongPath Technologies, Project Canary, Sionic Energy, and TrelliSense.

"If you don't drive, you will be driven," says Natasha Madan, the head of marketing at Intuit Credit Karma. "You have to play offense, you cannot be playing defense." That leadership philosophy has helped Natasha navigate from marketing candy brands at Nestlé to building Prime's brand strategy at Amazon, and now helping millions of people make financial progress. She believes marketers struggle to connect brand marketing with growth marketing, creating a gap that limits their impact. Today on Building Better CMOs, she and Marketing + Media Alliance CEO Greg Stuart discuss why marketing needs to bridge brand and performance, how understanding consumer psychology drives breakthrough creative, and why leadership means making tough decisions people may not initially like. They also explore the deep relationship people have with money, the power of AI-driven personalization, and why clarity is kindness in both parenting and managing teams.

C dans l'air l'invité du 18 novembre 2025 avec Olivier Andrault, chargé de mission alimentation à l'UFC-Que Choisir. Aujourd'hui, le tribunal de Nanterre doit rendre sa décision sur la possibilité pour Nestlé Waters de poursuivre la commercialisation ou non de sa marque l'appellation eau minérale. Secoué depuis deux ans par les conditions d'embouteillage de son eau Perrier sur le site de Vergèze, Nestlé pourrait vivre un véritable coup de tonnerre : le groupe pourrait être contraint de retirer ses iconiques bouteilles vertes des rayons et des cuisines des restaurants. C'est en tout cas ce que demande l'UFC-Que choisir, qui doit être fixée sur sa procédure, lancée au printemps auprès du tribunal judiciaire de Nanterre, pour retirer et rappeler provisoirement les bouteilles de la marque."Pour nous, une tromperie persiste en l'état auprès des consommateurs sur l'appellation eau minérale naturelle de Perrier", selon Gwenaëlle Le Jeune, juriste pour l'association de consommateurs. "Après le rapport parlementaire de mai dernier sur les pratiques des embouteilleurs en France, on voyait mal comment ne pas réagir", ajoute-t-elle.Ce mardi, l'UFC-Que choisir lance également son opération "La goutte de trop". Elle vise à alerter sur une dégradation de la qualité de l'eau potable en France et sur les coûts exorbitants de la dépollution. Entre 2021 et 2025, le niveau de conformité des réseaux d'eaux potables en France s'est considérablement dégradé, selon l'UFC-Que choisir. D'après cette étude menée par l'UFC-Que Choisir rendue publique aujourd'hui, seuls 85% d'entre eux seraient conformes à la réglementation en vigueur.Olivier Andrault commentera la décision du tribunal de Nanterre sur la commercialisation des eaux Perrier sous l'appellation "eau minérale naturelle". Il nous donnera aussi les résultats de l'étude de l'UFC-Que choisir sur la qualité de l'eau potable en France, et nous exposera les propositions de l'association, qui lance sa campagne "La goutte de trop".

A French court has rejected a demand by a consumer protection group to remove Perrier water bottles from markets over its "natural mineral water" labelling. It's the latest in a long-running scandal stemming from the revelation that Nestlé and other manufacturers had treated water illegally to remove contaminants while labelling their products as natural mineral water. But first, Airbus books a huge order of 150 A321neo jets from flydubai, in a deal worth €24 billion. 

If you've been watching AI tools race into marketing and tech, but aren't sure what's hype and what's actually useful, this episode is for you.  Mod Op's Head of Technology in Calgary, Derek McBurney, unpacks how generative AI, code assistants and “vibe coding” are really changing the way digital experiences get built. He explains in plain language what AI code assistants actually do, when they genuinely speed teams up and when they quietly introduce bugs, tech debt or just plain slop. You'll hear concrete examples of using AI to handle tedious work—like transforming messy spreadsheets—so developers can spend more time on the creative, pixel-perfect experiences that matter most to customers. Derek also digs into how no-code and vibe-code tools are empowering marketers, designers and non-dev teammates to prototype real concepts quickly, without replacing the need for strong engineering fundamentals. Throughout the conversation, Derek keeps coming back to two big themes: ambition and responsibility. He shares practical guidance for CMOs and marketing leaders on setting guardrails, protecting proprietary code, avoiding skill erosion and deciding when to build vs buy in an AI-driven world. Leader Generation is hosted by Tessa Burg and brought to you by Mod Op.  About Derek McBurney: Derek is the Head of Technology at Evans Hunt, focusing on delivering meaningful digital experiences and sharing his knowledge about building the web for humans. He's been building websites ever since he first got online. At the age of 12, it was a fan site for the game Quake, with nothing more than a text editor to create some HTML. Now? Clients like Travel Alberta, Calgary Stampede, and Brookfield Residential, which compose builds using best-in-class technologies for performance, accessibility, and intuitive authoring to power beautiful and rich experiences.  About Tessa Burg: Tessa is the Chief Technology Officer at Mod Op and Host of the Leader Generation podcast.

Le shutdown est enfin terminé (Trump l'a dit, donc c'est vrai), les fonctionnaires américains redécouvrent leur mot de passe Windows, et pendant ce temps… la Bourse fait comme si de rien n'était. Mais attention : pendant que Wall Street fait sa diva, la rotation sectorielle joue les troubles-fêtes. La tech fait la sieste, les investisseurs se réveillent value, et soudain le marché se souvient que Coca-Cola existe. Oui oui : la value, c'est sexy maintenant. ➡️ L'Europe flambe (France +3,5 %, Suisse +4 %, Italie en orbite). ➡️ Les USA patinent (sauf le Dow Jones qui vit son meilleur moment depuis son divorce de 1999). ➡️ L'Asie flippe ses valorisations. ➡️ Le pétrole fait un malaise à 58$. ➡️ L'or remet sa cape de valeur refuge, façon "Batman mais en plus cher". ➡️ Et Cisco, la momie de l'an 2000… revient d'entre les morts avec +1,3 milliard en commandes IA et un flirt public avec Nvidia. Bref, tout le monde joue DEFENSIF. On ne sait pas combien de temps ça va durer, mais en attendant, Nestlé, Procter, McDo et Johnson & Johnson ressortent du placard… et prennent la lumière. Et pendant que vous lisez ce texte, quelque part dans le S&P500 : un trader essaie encore de comprendre pourquoi AMD a d'abord baissé de –2,7 %… avant de prendre +9 % quand quelqu'un a finalement lu le communiqué jusqu'au bout.

Esta semana, Blanca Juana platica con Teresa: ¿Se acuerdan de la hermana mayor, compañera de sueños, que salió a tema en el episodio #82? Ella es la invitada de esta semana. Blanca la entrevista en una gran etapa de su vida, cuando precisamente está viviendo un sueño dorado: el de encabezar la  transformación digital en la región para una de las compañías tecnológicas más relevantes de nuestro tiempo. Es lista, rápida, intensa, y siempre elige el camino más difícil, pues sabe que los retos son la forma de crecer. Por eso arrancó su carrera apagando pipas incendiadas y manejando líquidos corrosivos. Por eso, fue la elegida para trabajar desde México para Elon Musk. También autodesafiada en lo personal, es madre de cinco: cuatro de carne y hueso y un hijo -emprendimiento con potencial de revolucionar el panorama de salud para la mujer. Mi take favorito de esta aguerrida que estuvo al borde de la muerte: la atención al ROI del propio tiempo. ACERCA DE TERE: Es Country Manager de Tesla para México y Latinoamérica, y cofundadora de Timser, una health tech company enfocada en salud para la mujer. Estudió Ingeniería Química en la Ibero y tiene un MBA en Alta Dirección por el Ipade. A lo largo de su carrera, ha pasado por industrias tan diversas como la manufactura, la energía, el retail y la tecnología: ocupó cargos de alto nivel en empresas como Procter & Gamble, McKinsey, Nestlé, Mattel y Rappi.Acá su LinkedIn.

Episode 205: In this episode of the Sports Performance Leadership Podcast, hosted by Pete McKnight, we are joined by Dr. David Bailey — an internationally recognised coach, sports scientist, and performance leader whose career spans over two decades across Olympic, corporate, and professional sport. David is currently Head of Performance Support with a World Tour professional cycling team, where he leads multidisciplinary sports science and performance teams competing at the highest level. Over the past ten years, he has helped drive innovation and integration across physiology, nutrition, technology, and data — guiding athletes and staff towards sustained world-class performance. Before his move into cycling, David was a Senior Research Scientist at Nestlé, responsible for global sports nutrition research for PowerBar, and previously a sports physiologist with the English Institute of Sport across three Olympic cycles — Athens, Beijing, and London — supporting athletes in cycling, triathlon, and other endurance sports. With a PhD in Exercise and Sport Nutrition from Loughborough University and more than 50 peer-reviewed publications, David continues to shape the evolution of applied sports science and performance leadership — bridging the gap between research, technology, and real-world performance. In this conversation, David and Pete explore the art and science of performance management — from the “aggregation of marginal gains” to the power of reflection, collaboration, and human-centred leadership in complex, high-pressure environments.

Today's Headlines: Hurricane Melissa tore through the Caribbean just as feared, leaving dozens dead and catastrophic damage across Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti before weakening to a Category 1 on its way to the Bahamas. Nearly 80% of Jamaica is still without power, and hundreds remain missing across the islands. In Gaza, Israel resumed airstrikes that killed around 100 people after a soldier was shot in Rafah — but quickly announced the ceasefire was back on. Hamas says it's delaying the return of hostage remains in response to the strikes. Trump, meanwhile, is still globe-trotting — now in South Korea, where he announced the U.S. will share sensitive nuclear submarine technology, one of the country's most tightly guarded military secrets. This comes months after North Korea bragged about its own nuclear-powered sub. Back home, a new Pentagon memo ordered all 50 states, D.C., and U.S. territories to form “quick reaction forces” — over 23,000 National Guard troops trained for riot control — to respond to potential unrest. The administration also indicted its first Gen Z political figure: 26-year-old Illinois Democrat Kat Abughazaleh, charged with assaulting an ICE officer during a protest — charges that could carry up to 14 years in prison. On the money front, the Senate symbolically voted against Trump's 50% tariffs on Brazil (which won't actually change anything), the Fed cut interest rates another 0.25%, and the shutdown continues as millions risk losing food aid. The Dow hit a record 48,000 — mostly thanks to AI stocks — even as layoffs surge at UPS, Nestlé, and Amazon. And in some good news for once, philanthropist Mackenzie Scott donated $60 million to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy and another $38 million to Alabama State University — the largest gift in the HBCU's 158-year history.

Strategy and Change reviewed by David Stephen. See more about the book here. Strategy and Change: Finding Opportunity in Disruption Through Insight, Choice, and Risk, reviewed Does disruption - by a tech company - always come with profitability? If so, how immediate? If not, why? An appropriate example of a major disruptive business in this recent era is OpenAI, with ChatGPT, a technology of broad knowledge. However, OpenAI is not a profitable company, with some analysts wondering if they would ever be. One observation though is that if a company is seeking to disrupt say Google search, the company should be ready to give away services for free, for as long as possible. Now, the problem is not that there have not been consumer internet companies that took a while to break even, but that OpenAI has to run on huge compute and utilities, signing deals recently totaling $1 trillion, while only around 5% of 800 million ChatGPT users pay. How does OpenAI have an excellent product, solving tasks, professionally and personally across, but most users would rather not pay? In the book, Strategy and Change: Finding Opportunity in Disruption Through Insight, Choice, and Risk by Aaron K. Olson, Ward Ching, Richard Waterer and B. Keith Simerson, there were several lessons about disruption, including with case studies. Disruption was generally correlated with staying power, ["Corporations like Montgomery Ward, Blockbuster, and Kodak have disappeared due to new forms of competition brought on by innovative technologies."]. However, certainty of some of this, so far in this AI era, seems unclear. There were points on "visionary, incubating, directive and collaborative types of strategic leadership". They also wrote, "In its most fundamental form, we define disruptive change as the aggregate impact of all forms of environmental change on the decision ecosystem. By this we mean both instances of disruptive innovation that affect the competitive viability of an organization's core business and any disruptive innovation that alters the way that business operates. Importantly, we are also referring to the fact that these forms of disruption are likely to arise more frequently due to the accelerating and compounding nature of technological innovation." They gave an example of a company that went under that did not recover from a situation, "In 1990, the Food and Drug Administration informed Perrier Water that carcinogenic benzene had been found in US lab samples. This contamination was subsequently traced back to clogged filters that had gone undetected for six months. Perrier issued a recall for 160 million bottles from 120 countries, but following a rocky period of recovery, the company was eventually sold to Nestlé in 1992, for $2.6 billion." They also mentioned that, "In his 1994 critique of the field of strategic management, Henry Mintzberg argued that strategy cannot, in fact, be planned. Rather, he emphasizes the role of experiential learning in the development of strategic insight. Mintzberg's view was reinforced by other popular management thinkers of the time who promoted ideas like "management by walking around" and rejected what they viewed as the professionalization of management in ways that increased formality and distance from everyday work at the expense of direct experience." "Strategy is about trade-offs. In every organization, the chief executive faces difficult decisions on myriad issues such as which market opportunities to pursue, where to invest scarce resources, and how to ensure results through the right governance and controls. They make these decisions in the context of environmental factors like emerging trends, competitor actions, customer priorities, and the requirements introduced by regulations or employee expectations" The book discussed risks in details, including stating that, "Resilience through risk, Interconnected approach, Expert data analysis.

In this throwback episode, we have Grant Polachek,  head of branding at Squadhelp.com—a top‑rated naming platform serving over 20,000 clients ranging from early‑stage giants like Nestlé and Pepsi. Grant emphasized that effective branding sits at the intersection of copywriting, creativity, and business strategy, helping companies translate their vision into a compelling brand narrative. He outlines a simple yet powerful naming framework: start by clarifying who you are and what you aim to create (the business plan), identify your audience, decide the desired perception and tone, and then develop secondary branding elements that capture the core idea. Grant shares that their smart dashboard surfaces the four most critical naming factors, curates ideas, and delivers real‑time alerts, enabling rapid, data‑driven iterations that large companies now prefer over traditional agencies.

The News RundownSteve leads off with the latest tariff turmoil, as trade negotiations between the U.S. and Canada stall amid the Trump administration's response to an ad created and paid for by the Ontario government running in U.S. media whose key auto  sector is endangered by Trump trade policies. They also explore luxury corporate earnings, where Hermès continues to shine, while.  Gucci owner Kering struggles to regain footing. Meanwhile, Mattel falls short as retailers tighten orders ahead of the holidays.The discussion then turns to job cuts at Target, Amazon, GM, and Nestlé, revealing how automation, AI, and tariff pressures are reshaping corporate structures, before turning to  Amazon's plan to replace up to 600,000 roles with robotics. They also cover ChatGPT's meteoric rise to No. 2 in product search, challenging Google and signaling a shift in how consumers discover products.Throughout, they underscore the precariousness of retail confidence heading into the holiday season — from Tractor Supply's cautious guidance to Deckers' HOKA sales slowdown.Blank Canvas Strategy: Finding Retail's 'New Earth'In the second half, Steve introduces "Blank Canvas Strategy"— a methodology for retailers to reimagine their businesses from the ground up, free from legacy constraints. Unlike Blue Ocean Strategy, which focuses on discovering compltey untapped markets, this framework helps brands reinvent their core business models before disruption makes them irrelevant.Steve urges leaders to recognize when their "planet" (current business model and market domain) becomes uninhabitable, and to begin building "Earth Two" — an alternative growth destination. Together, the hosts examine why incremental change doomed once-iconic retailers like Blockbuster, Sears, and Pier 1, and how others like Dick's Sporting Goods and RH (Restoration Hardware) succeeded by boldly innovating their business designs.They close by discussing how executives can carve out time, treasure, and talent for R&D, overcome the fear of cannibalization, and lead with the courage to disrupt themselves before competitors do.After the focused content discussion it's on to the most remarkable stories of the week, including Walmart's massive commitment to deploying 90 million supply-chain sensors to track pallets and fresh-food products.The episode wraps with what needs to be on everyone's radar screens. One recommendation: keep your eyes on "GU" the first U.S. store fromUniqlo's parent company, Fast Retailing. Located in New York's Soho neighborhood, Gu is a bright, energetic space with "eye-poppingly good prices" and strong shopper buzz.

Cette semaine, je suis avec Jochen Peter Breuer, consultant en entreprise. Jochen a d'abord commencé une carrière de banquier à Paris. Originaire de Cologne, il a découvert sur le terrain, le fossé culturel existant entre Français et Allemands au travail. C'est ainsi qu'il a été sollicité pour créer des ponts entre les deux cultures. C'est cette démarche qui l'a amené ensuite à devenir consultant pour permettre aux managers Français et Allemands, notamment chez Airbus, de travailler ensemble de façon efficace en prenant conscience de leurs conditionnements. Avec le temps, Jochen a mis au point une véritable méthodologie. Que ce soit chez Air Liquide, Logitech, Pictet, Piguet-Galland ou Nestlé, il s'agit toujours pour lui de résoudre d'abord les problèmes émotionnels et les non-dits, pour que la performance arrive ensuite naturellement. Comment donc écouter ce qui n'est pas dit ? C'est la question de la semaine.

This week's episode opens with a layoffs avalanche that could bury a small HR department. Nestlé slashes 16,000 jobs—mostly white-collar, as AI now crunches numbers faster than accountants can say “chocolate river.” Meta cuts 600 from its super-intelligence team (the irony writes itself), Paycom drops 500 engineers (guess the bots finally learned to code), Handshake axes over 100 (pivoting to “AI-centric tech” = fancy talk for “we're toast”), and even programmatic darling Appcast trims 32. The hot acquisition pitch? JobGet should buy Handshake and rebrand it Handjob.com—because nothing screams “career move” like a domain that triggers every corporate filter. The bullshit meter detonates. Facebook resurrects its job board after killing it in 2023—rumor has it Zuck's prepping AR glasses where “Starbucks is hiring” beams directly into your latte-fueled daydreams. X quietly buries its LinkedIn-killer tab (Elon's too busy monetizing outrage). Adzuna unveils a “revolutionary” search that's basically ZipRecruiter's Phil minus the creepy spokesperson—half-baked, no employer-side matching, and it begs for your email like a desperate Tinder bio. Metaview's Chicago billboard (“Who says hiring has to be fair?”) gets flayed: four-second glance, logo smaller than a South Park punchline, and DEI messaging dumber than a rock. Fix? “Effective AI. Giant Logo. Metaview.com.” Done. Stop torching $35M on ego art. Funding fireworks: Findem.ai pockets another $51M, hitting $105M total (Intello 2.0, now with agent spice—same data warehouse, new flavor packet). Deel raises $300M, pushing its war chest to $1.3B at a $17.3B valuation—enough to buy a mid-sized nation and still tip the barista. Armstrong grabs $12M for AI dish-washing robots (Taco Bell's drive-thru is about to ghost human order-takers faster than you can say “Doritos Locos”). Jack & Jill scores $20M for conversational job alerts—talk to your laptop, get emailed Indeed links. Groundbreaking… if it's 2001. Economy's a K-shaped tire fire: Hamburger Helper sales spike 14% (flashbacks to salty 70s trauma: “Dad tried to fix it with more salt—burned my mouth and my will to live”). Freight rates up 20%, subprime auto delinquencies worse than COVID, Great Recession, and dot-com bust combined. White Castle flips fully autonomous in Ohio—farewell, drive-thru jobs; hello, robot flipping your sliders while you doom-scroll in sweatpants. Finale: OpenAI green-lights erotic ChatGPT for verified adults starting December (the internet was literally built on the promise of pixelated nipples—Sam Altman's just cashing the OG check). Age-gating? Cute. Show me a 10-ft wall, I'll show you an 11-ft ladder and a forged ID. They also launch ChatGPT Atlas, an AI browser with a sassy sidebar—because Chrome's 2:38 median tab time and 11.4 open tabs (recruiters: double that, easy) needed a drunk-texting career coach. Google infused Gemini; OpenAI counters by making browsing feel like your browser just joined a group chat.Buckle up—2026 will be wilder than a Meta glasses app that undresses your LinkedIn connections in AR.
