Hosted by Mohamed Al Lawati and Joe Sindaha, each episode unpacks how brands scale in fast-growth markets where: • Channels are fragmented • Consumer behaviour is non-linear • And execution matters more than frameworks From FMCG to eCommerce, retail to digital ecosystems, we speak to the people building, fixing, and growing businesses. No fluff. No recycled playbooks. Just honest conversations

    The Operator Who Rewired A Global Brand Across Three Continents

    Beverley D'Cruz did not follow the obvious path. She studied finance at MIT, stumbled into marketing, took on the jobs nobody else wanted, and ended up becoming the first female General Manager for Pizza Hut Middle East and Pakistan at Yum Brands. In this episode of Commerce Rewired, we trace the transformation work: taking Pizza Hut Canada from 9% online to nearly 50%, pivoting Pizza Hut UK to digital-first, and then building digital commerce capability across META in a region that plays by entirely different rules. Now Retail Franchise Director at Costa Coffee Middle East, Beverley joins Mohamed and Joe to talk about what real transformation looks like and what the MENA consumer will demand from brands in the years ahead.

    Why Asia Is Rewriting the Commerce Playbook

    In this episode of Commerce Rewired, Mohamed and Joe sit down with Yannis Dramis, CMO at Nestle Vietnam, to unpack what happens when global frameworks meet the operational reality of APAC markets. Yannis takes us through a career that skipped the usual FMCG playbook, from Greece to Bulgaria to Vevey to Ho Chi Minh City, and what that non-linear path taught him that a conventional one never could. We dig into his work building Nestle's eBusiness Academy and what it actually takes to shift behaviour across a global organization, not just deploy new tools. Then we go deep on Vietnam: Tet and what it reveals about true localization, the mobile-first, platform-diverse nature of APAC commerce, and what it's like to go from outsider to insider in a market as specific and culturally rich as this one.
