In this new episode of Leaders in Value Chain, I had as guest Maria Pia De Caro, the EVP of Integrated Operations and S&R at Pernod Ricard. We looked back at her career and reflected on the lessons learned. Initially, Maria strived to be the "best," but later realized the importance of authenticity and self-acceptance. Her ambitious transformation agenda focuses on digitalization, supply chain optimization, and adapting to emerging trends.
Maria Pia highlighted projects on sustainability addressing areas such as packaging, agriculture, and energy use. She also stressed the value of diversity and inclusion, recognizing the unique gifts in all individuals. This conversation offers leadership advice on embracing one's authentic self and unlocking potential in others to find what Maria calls "the magic" in people.

Customer Reviews
Great podcast and great topics
Radu is a great host! The topics he and his guests cover are so relevant! My only problem is the sound quality - which cone and goes!
Good but not the best.
I’ve follow this podcast for a few years. I even followed it during deployments overseas. I used to recommend this podcast to other supply officers as well. It’s a very good podcast but it’s not the best. The best supply chain management and logistics podcast I’ve ever heard comes from Cranfield university in England. Indeed, one of the interviews on this podcast is with Professor wilding of Cranfield. The questions asked of the guests are very good questions, but if they were to be outstanding questions they would somehow lead the conversation to demonstrate key supply chain management and logistics principles in such a way that the audience learns them in a Socratic way. This, is partly accomplished, but it could be done better. The sound quality of the guest is usually not bad, but the host consistently sounds like he’s in a room surrounded by tiles. Lastly, one of the reasons why I followed the author of this podcast, was that he was very professional and completely apolitical . However, the author recently changed this on LinkedIn regarding a supposed leadership issue which he took out of context. Lastly, there is not much variance between one interview and another, so I begin to feel that I am listening to an hour and 15 minutes of the same thing. For these reasons, I am not giving this podcast five stars.
Great podcast
I love the podcast and it’s content . The sound quality needs to be improved however - it’s highly inconsistent.
