make sense of some of the biggest shifts reshaping the CPG industry.

or does things.
Brought to you by Haines, a dedicated CPG growth partner working non-
stop on the future of food, drink and wellbeing, You, Me & CPG uncovers
the conversations behind the briefs, where strategy meets reality and big
decisions are made.

impact – this podcast if for you.

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

- How she single handedly fought against a woeful UK maternity policy
