Over the course of the past ten years, Gareth Ackerman engineered a massive corporate overall and turnaround of South Africa's largest retailer, Pick 'n Pay with an entirely new senior leadership team.

PnP's turnaround and the Ackerman family's repositioning of their business and family interests serve as a textbook example of a family-business generational transition, as well as the evolution of a business from family, controlled to a professionally managed business.

In this podcast, Gareth candidly lets us into the ups and downs of the past few years and gives us a glimpse of the lessons learned and thinking behind many of the adjustments he personally made to ensure that the PnP legacy lives on long after him.
