Here's what we asked him :
1. You are a rare breed of merchants that have successfully transitioned from pharma to CPG - what did it take and how did you accomplish this?
2. How have consumer behaviors and preferences shifted in the post-pandemic world, and what does this mean for CPG brands?
3. CPG companies are facing a lot of disruption with e-commerce and changing consumer behaviors. What are the biggest shifts you're seeing in the industry today?
4. How do you see the relationship between traditional retail and CPG evolving over the next 5 years?
5. What advice do you have for CPG companies that are struggling to adapt to the consumer digital-first world?
6. How do you think CPG companies can best leverage data and analytics to improve their operations, marketing, and customer engagement?
7. What does a best in class partnership with Wakefern look like for a CPG brand?
8. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve received during your career, and how did it shape your path?
