I always love having the opportunity to work with Angela Bozo, ACS CCP and the entire INFRA team! With so many innovations hitting the market (many of which will show up on the show floor at Newtopia Now), it's important for retailers to understand the latest category management strategies. We're excited for this awesome workshop the Thrive neighborhood at Newtopia Now later this summer, which is one of many sessions focused on supporting retail differentiation. Join INFRA’s Danelle Rydel, VP of member success and Angela Bozo, director of member programs, for a discussion of innovation opportunities within modern category management paradigms. They will tackle the questions: Are subcategories too narrow to encourage real category innovation? What strategies have worked for defying categorization? Which up-and-coming subcategories could become their own categories and why? How can retailers and brands work together more effectively to encourage new products? Using retail profiles and innovative brand examples, they will highlight retail and brand success stories and opportunities.

Finally, it’s 100% complete. Let me introduce my company “Innovative Quality Solutions Sweden AB.” We will offer innovative solutions and consumables for metallography sample preparations, with premium products from AKASEL A/S in the Swedish market. We can also offer accredited calibrations and accessories for hardness testing machines etc togheter with Carlann AB First of all, I would like to thank Akasel A/S for truly believing in me and supporting me 110% to make this possible. Especially Morten J. Damgaard , Peter Kosaber and Carsten Ekström And not to be forgotten, all great people that works in that company. You really make it easy for me. Customer visits over the past weeks have shown that it’s not about whether the products work or not, it’s more about how much better the sample preparation becomes for the customer, both in terms of the final result and price. World-class! Next, I would like to thank my mentor Billy Jernberg Thank you for your dedication and for putting up with 100x calls when I’ve had questions about starting and running my own business. By the way, he has written an interesting book regarding leadership. “Leadership in Practice.” Available digitally wherever books are sold. Then we have Mr. Roger Henriksson owner of Carlann AB, who has taken me under his wings. Humility personified, and the more we’ve talked, the more I’ve realized that it’s people like you I want have around me. Together we will be incredibly strong, and I really look forward to our collaboration. Last but not least, my life partner Thina Nisukangas You’ve always pushed me to do something else with my life and maybe start my own company. Sorry for not listening earlier 😅 Today I’m living my life and the positive feedback I got from old and new customers are unbelievable. Thank you! Okay! Enough of the sweet talk. It’s time for some hard work. As we say in Sweden: “Let’s go full throttle until we hit the wall.” Together, we are “The Smarter Alternative.” #innovativequalitysolutionsswedenab #iQS #Thesmarteralternative #akasel

→ Q&A with Jordi Escubedo. In 2025 Jordi will celebrate 30 years as Escubedo's CEO. There is no one better than him to tell us about Escubedo's place in the market and its future. 💬 "The connection systems market is dominated by large multinationals with significant innovation capacity, but they often approach their clients based on large volumes. The fact that we can address our clients' needs with products that already exist in our catalog or through the development of new products is one of the key factors for our privileged market position."

Last week, I was delighted to participate in the Business Transformation Strategy Masterclass led by Dr. Ram Charan, in collaboration with the The Economic Times. Delving into Marico Limited's digital transformation journey over the past decade, I was inspired by how these advancements have not only augmented the company itself but also empowered its stakeholders, including our distributors, employees, and consumers. Digital innovation has been a key driver of Marico's success, enabling us to: 1. Acquire D2C brands like Beardo and True Elements, expanding our reach and catering to evolving consumer preferences. 2. Assemble a young, dynamic team with a deep understanding of the digital landscape, allowing us to operate efficiently with lower operational budgets and a strong focus on action. 3. Implement AI-assisted selling I firmly believe that digital transformation is a powerful catalyst for positive change and sustainable growth. #leadership #digital #technology #innovation #growth #future
