In our second episode this series the focus is all about
innovation.
I was delighted to chat with Sarah Munday, European Head of Research and Development at Innocent Drinks and Rachel Chatterton, Head of Food and Beverage Development at Holland and Barrett.
Sarah has over 25 years of experience working in the food and drink industry, specifically focusing on new product development and innovation. She has made a career out of bringing household names to market working for companies such as Hain Daniels Group, Mizkan and now Innocent Drinks.
Rachel brings years of experience launching market leading new product development with nationally and globally recognised brands such as Starbucks, Gousto and Marks and Spencer. She now works with Holland and Barrett
to lead their food and beverage development strategy.
In this episode, we focus on innovation. Through the
conversation we discuss the importance of timing in new product development, the impact food security is having on the market and how AI and data are influencing the innovation process.
We also cover the biggest threats to innovation right now, what the upcoming trends in the food and drink industry are and how you should approach failure.
I hope you like this epsiode and, as ever, if you’d like to get
in touch for any reason you can reach me at Jonathan.ohagan@leaderexecutivesearch.com
