Thank you for the journey my dear friends This month, after 40 years in the Hi-Tech Industry and working for four of the largest companies in the world I’m officially retiring . I have no mix feelings, I was working for a long time to get to this day. This industry gave me everything I have, but I also gave back all I had : my commitment, my passion, my youth, the time of my family .. so I believe we are even, I don’t owe anything, nothing is owed to me. It’s time to focus my family in full. To the ones that ever met me, know that you touched my life in some way. I never take a person for granted. If there is one thing that I take with me after these 40 years, is the people I met all over the world. I hope to have had a positive impact on many of you, even knowing that I’m a though person, I always acted in good faith to protect my company, my teams and being fair. I tried to build my career on transparency and honesty but those principles are often not welcomed in highly political organizations. Never allow politics to silence you. I’m proof that you can succeed anyway. If I can pass on a legacy , it could be: never give up to your values, never surrender the right actions to the mediocrity of bureaucracy or to the criticism of others. You can succeed being you, respectfully of course. When you make a mistake, take responsibility, correct course and keep going. Corporate America needs people that can challenge the status quo to succeed. Be that people. I tell you: the day you go, you will face your own judgment. Better do things to be proud of yourself. In 40 years, I was able to drive a lot of innovation to our communities (as you can imagine). People like me, need to leave room for the new generation to deploy the next waves of innovation. I can’t even imagine what they will be able to witness and do in the next 20-30 years. I wish I could be here that long :-) A lot of the future challenges will need extremely courageous leaders. I trust most of the people I knew in my career are or can be those leaders. Be happy, be confident, be transparent, be yourself. You are the ONLY asset any company really has. Make it worth. See you around Gustavo

It's so meaningful to be included in someone's reasons to be grateful. Wishing you well, Bonnie Beard, in this important time of leaning in to bringing your considerable gifts to the world in this new way. #societyforprocessconsulting

This stands to save hours and days of video editing work - if you're in newsrooms in particular and use video, am keen to hear if you try this and how the experience goes

🌟 Big lesson I learned from last year: Having a vision and executing it well doesn't always mean it's the "right" vision. 🌟 Let me explain... In 2023, we focused on: ⭐ Building our brand ⭐ Understanding our community ...primarily through events. And these events were 🔥🔥🔥. They did wonders for our brand and helped me connect with our customers. BUT... Our community now craves more: 1️⃣ More places to find us (more of the RIGHT distribution) 2️⃣ More product variations to fall in love with (announcement on this coming soon) So, this year is all about expanding and innovating. 🚀 Being a solo startup leader means learning on the go. I beat myself up a lot in the past few months for not course-correcting sooner (i.e. changing up distro and product strategy earlier), but I'm learning to just move forward. And don't worry, we're not ditching events. We're just getting smarter about them, partnering with other cool brands when it makes sense. 🤝 (aka First Round's On Me in the vid below). Remember, behind every fabulous event is a whole lot of strategy brewing backstage. 🎭 https://lnkd.in/g_6u3myf

On Guru Poornima, I receive numerous heartfelt messages from team members I've worked with over the years. These messages, filled with appreciation, often overwhelm me and evoke a surge of serotonin. They make me reflect on the impact I've had on my colleagues, especially during my early years of leadership. I've learned a few fundamental principles throughout my professional career that have helped me make a lasting impression and impact on their lives : Empowerment: Empowering those you work with fosters courage and integrity, encouraging an open and organisation focused mindset rather than a narrow focus on KRAs. Value Addition: Bringing value to the table involves thorough homework and hands-on experience to understand real-time challenges. By working on solutions that make their lives easier, you demonstrate genuine support and commitment. Respectful Leadership: Avoid imposing methods you didn't appreciate when you were in their position. Forced leadership, unethical practices, and excessive micromanagement create a negative environment and undue pressure. On this auspicious day of Guru Poornima, I wanted to share these learnings from my professional journey. I am grateful to everyone who has taught me valuable lessons, both personally and professionally, regardless of their designation, seniority, or experience. Thank you for sharing those valuable lessons and guidance.

As a business to business marketer it is always a struggle to get the right eyes on the products and benefits we offer. We are growing our Instagram audience Grande Custom Ingredients Group but I’m wondering if a key audience of ours is online. Are you a food scientist, someone that works in product research and development? What type of information do you like to see on LinkedIn? Let me know in comments!
