This is when magic happens: Cross-functional collaboration at HEINEKEN between our Regional Digital & Tech, Sales and Marketing teams in combination with the power of Microsoft as our strategic partner. Last week, we had a fantastic leadership offsite in Singapore as Digital & Tech Leadership Team for the APAC region. I also invited our regional Sales and Marketing Leaders to ensure that we are fully aligned on our priorities for 2024 and maximize cross-functional collaboration to create as much value in our business as possible. Together, we will continue to focus on digitizing our Route-to-Consumer and, in particular, data analytics and AI across different areas to augment our impact in the business on scale. This aligns perfectly with our global strategic priorities and dream to become the Best Connected Brewer in the world! I would like to extend my gratitude to our friends and strategic partners at Microsoft. They hosted us at the Microsoft Innovation Center in Singapore and enriched our offsite with inspirational conversations about GenAI, an area where we have been collaborating deeply and strongly from the beginning.

What does this mean? It’s about breaking down the journey into manageable increments. By meticulously optimizing processes, automating tasks, and focusing on specific areas, we build a solid foundation. These incremental shifts, when woven together, lead to a larger, holistic transformation that propels organizations into the digital future. At the roundtable, we had the privilege of gathering insights from industry titans representing companies like ServiceNow, Loblaw Companies Limited, Charles Schwab, VMware, Lam Research, Netskope, TikTok, Walmart, Walmart Connect, Uber, HUMAN, Palo Alto Networks, Western Digital, Cohesity, ChargePoint and more. Their collective wisdom reinforced the power of small steps—each contributing to the ascent toward excellence. So, as you embark on your digital journey, remember Shiva’s words: Start small, dream big, and let each step be a leap toward success!
