Gigerich, Chief Information Officer of Keurig Dr Pepper Inc., where he speaks with Peter High about how KDP is leveraging digital transformation to drive growth and innovation. ☁️ Cloud Migration and Intelligent Automation John shares insights into KDP’s move to the cloud and how the company is using intelligent automation tools like RPA and AI to streamline operations. 📊 Data-Driven Consumer Insights He discusses how KDP optimizes product availability and marketing strategies through data gathered from direct-to-consumer channels and loyalty programs like Pepper Perks. 🔗 Supply Chain Optimization John provides an overview of KDP’s digital value chain, highlighting the company’s efforts to enhance supply chain efficiency and drive business growth. 🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/g39DATxb #KeurigDrPepper #valuechain #data #customerexperience #digitaltransformation #podcast #podcastinterview #Technovation #TechnovationPodcast

I recently had the privilege of joining Peter High on the Metis Strategy podcast to discuss Reynolds American Inc.'s digital transformation journey. During our conversation, I delved into our ambitious goal of achieving 100% cloud migration by next year. This shift is more than just a technological upgrade; it’s about unlocking new efficiencies in our supply chain that will enhance our operations and better serve our customers. Additionally, we touched on the transformative potential of Generative AI in boosting employee productivity and automating various processes. However, with these advancements comes the crucial need for robust cybersecurity measures in our rapidly evolving digital landscape. I want to extend my gratitude to the Metis Strategy team for facilitating such a thought-provoking discussion. I invite you all to listen to the episode and join us on this exciting journey as we shape the future of our industry.

We're hiring at all levels, and in all regions (Pacific/Mountain, Central, & Eastern). Especially for all of my parent friends out there: consulting doesn't have to force you into a trade off between being an involved parent, OR a dedicated advisor to clients. At Metis Strategy we live with purpose: take care of yourself, your family, and your clients. That's why we primarily work remotely, and travel with intentionality. It's not for everyone, but if this sounds like the right fit for you- DM me to learn more or refer a friend.
