Rachel Roberts has never shied away from bucking trends and swimming against the tides, and her stellar journey so far is evidence enough of her excellence.
Now a global leader in premium spirits powerhouse Beam Suntory, she’s charged through a male-dominated industry, unyielding in her desire to create unique experiences.
Rachel joins us on You, Me & CPG to share the industry’s progress in equality (and where it’s yet to improve), the essential need for CPG brands to consider sustainability, the nuanced future of non-alc drinks, and so much more.
This episode covers
- Consumers’ consideration for sustainability in high-end spirits
- Creating bespoke non-alcoholic experiences that excel beyond the norm
