What happens when supply chain turbulence, leadership under pressure, and mission-driven business collide?
This week’s conversation dives deep into the realities of managing complex supply chains — including the challenges of the wine industry during peak season — and how the right leadership, mentorship, and communication can turn crises into powerful learning moments.
I’m joined by Chris Silcock, who was appointed head of Kellanova’s United Kingdom and Ireland business in October 2019.
Before stepping into this role, Chris built an impressive career across FMCG and food retail — from ASDA, to Coca-Cola European Partners, and later Kellanova, where he first joined as UK Sales Director.
At Kellanova, Chris has focused on strengthening the company’s reputation as one of Britain and Ireland’s most trusted brands by:
🔹 Driving healthier food choices through reductions in sugar and salt
🔹 Championing sustainability, including commitments to halve food waste and ensure all packaging is reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2030
🔹 Leading efforts to combat hunger by supporting school breakfast clubs that reach 70,000 children every day
🔹 Unlocking £500k in additional income for families facing financial insecurity through the Money Matters Scheme
This episode is packed with insights on leadership, resilience, purpose, and the real impact organizations can make when values meet action.
🎧 Listen in to hear how Chris navigates challenge, builds strong teams, and leads with clarity and compassion.
