Today I was honored to welcome industry leaders to the 2024 Consumer Brands #CPGSummit. The #CPG industry plays an important role in our global economy, and I am excited for us to exchange insights, tackle our sector’s biggest opportunities and challenges, and collaborate on driving market growth and social impact. 

Yesterday afternoon, I had the pleasure of speaking and moderating a panel at the Consumer Brands Association’s CPG Summit meeting about “Reinvent & Grow: Embrace the Challenge and Prepare for Radical Transformation”. Starting with a “Barbatar” (I.e., Barb as an avatar) we got the group instantly engaged in thinking differently about growth, what was possible, how our organizations will generate revenue in the future, the capabilities needed to succeed and the speed to market. Such a pleasure to be on stage with my fellow PwC partners Paul Blase, Samrat Sharma, Carla DeSantis and Ben Zelinsky! I appreciate all of the support from Brian Crane, Katrina Carrizales, Alison Furman Craig A. Montague, Marissa Mumford Daily Mike Ross, Ajie A. Mathew, and Jennifer Hennessey #pwcteam #cbacpgsummit #businessmodelreinvention

Linda Rendle, Chair of the Consumer Brands Association, opened #CPGSummit by emphasizing the power of collaboration and conversation in driving industry progress. As the largest manufacturing sector in the U.S., the CPG industry plays a crucial role in positively impacting the lives of millions of consumers daily.

In case anyone needs the reminder - Tariffs are taxes and aren’t paid by foreign countries. They’re paid by American manufacturers and consumers. https://lnkd.in/exTfSpVD
