We took a big, scary bet and it paid off… Rootine has built an incredible community and a fast-growing brand, but as an internal team we are still relatively small (but mighty). The challenge we faced: ExpoWest is massive and we knew we wanted to send enough people to make a great impression. So we got creative. We put together a team with folks from every department - sales, design, engineering, CX, and marketing. As of Feb 26th, only a few of us knew the ins and outs of the CPG / retail industry and all the science behind our formulations. Expo West started 2 weeks later. ⚠️ I knew this had the potential to be a disaster. We have heard horror stories of reps from Target, Whole Foods Market, UNFI etc. asking basic questions about product, distribution, and more and teams having no idea how to answer. And big buyers loosing interest in that brand for years to come. But, we made the bet anyways. I trusted the team and I was confident that I could prepare them. We created study guides and had live mock Expo role playing, cold calling and some fun pop quizzes. And it worked! 🎉 Tons of interest, great conversations with buyers and we were the first winner of the KeHE Distributors Trendfinder event at Expo West 2024 (we’ll be an official supplier on their platform soon!). Beyond all of Rootine’s success at ExpoWest, our entire team now knows our products, science, and key messages like the back of their hand. That means engineers have more insight into how we market, marketers have more insight into ops and distribution, and so on. This knowledge sharing will pay dividends over the months to come. Plus everyone had fun! cc: Max Ninthara Sarah Morgan Lauren Wilson Jacob Burgess Alizah Cabilin Joshua Jennings #cpg #leadership #startup #naturalfood

🚀 How did it all start at EasyPicky? Let me tell you our story! 🍷One evening, when I was invited to a friend's house, I found myself in front of a wine shelf in a shop, eager to find the perfect bottle to give them for the occasion. Although I'm an amateur, I have to admit that I'm not an expert. Faced with so many choices, I felt a bit lost. I thought it would be great to be able to film the shelf, select a few criteria (price, dry or sweet, meat or fish pairing, etc.), and let an app guide me towards the product that would best meet my expectations. 📱Little did I know that this idea would change my life and give birth to EasyPicky... But I was so excited by the idea that I decided to dig deeper. So I started working on algorithms, and the further I got, the more I realised it was possible. After months of intensive development, I managed to recognize my first bottle of wine on the shelf that matched 3 specific criteria! Talking to a friend of mine, a sales rep at Danone, he told me that scanning products on the shelves was the most time-consuming part of his day-to-day work. For him, the dream was to have an App that scanned the shelf and gave him a complete shelf-reading report in an instant! 🎉 He simply said to me: your project could change my daily life! That's how the EasyPicky adventure really began. What was just a simple idea became a passion - a technical and entrepreneurial challenge that we took up with my partner, Marine Bibal. 🔎 EasyPicky has not yet become an application for recognising bottles of wine in particular for end consumers, but a 100% offline solution for recognising all the products and all the data on the shelves, enabling the sales force to take instant readings in the field and managers to have all the data in a reliable and exhaustive way for all retail sectors. We're proud of how far and grateful to everyone who has helped make EasyPicky a reality. Even though many people around the world use EasyPicky on a daily basis, this is just the beginning of our great adventure! 🚀 #EasyPickyStory #Innovation #TechAdventure

Time for a New Chapter: Stepping Down from Paxafe Well, this turned out to be a short stint. Like that time I tried out roller derby. Turns out, those ladies hit REALLY HARD. Come to think of it, maybe I should rethink skydiving too. Anyway, after careful consideration, I decided to step down from my role as CRO at Paxafe a week ago. While my initial excitement for the company's potential remains strong, the current direction doesn't fit with my goals. In all seriousness, the future of AI-powered supply chain solutions is bright, and I believe there may be great things in store for Paxafe. I wish them all the best in their continued journey. No hard feelings, but this old dog is headed for new hunting grounds. So, I’m looking forward to reconnecting with new and old friends alike and proving retirement ain't got nothin' on me! As a long-time industry veteran (read that as “Supply Chain OG”), I'll be focused on new opportunities that leverage experience and passion for the supply chain industry. I'm exploring new avenues that align more closely with my goals, and I'm excited to see what the future holds. So, I’ll keep in touch and share updates on my next venture. Want to catch up in the meantime? Hit me at david@globalscv.com, and let’s start talking. I can’t wait to hear from you and catch up! #ColdChainIsHot #NotRetiredJustRecharged #SupplyChainJedi #SupplyChainOG #ColdChainComeback #ThisAintYourGrandpasSupplyChain #SupplyChain #Logistics #AI #NewBeginnings
