Nestle USA revels in revival of growth over past two years

摘要

In the two-plus years since Steve Presley took over as chief executive officer, Nestle USA has experienced resurgence of growth. Credit, he said, belongs to the success of a hybrid growth model and the strength of Nestle's largest brands. "Really, for us, when we think about how you grow in this market, no matter how great your innovation is or how strong some of the other things are that we'll come to, you've got to have (a) healthy base business," Mr. Presley said during a Sept. 9 virtual presentation as part of the Barclays Global Consumer Staples Conference. "And reimagining and reinvigorating our big businesses is what we've really focused on. And that's including driving product quality into the product, really focused on consumer-obsessed innovation that's driving big wins in some of our big categories and absolutely just being relentless around this pursuit of what does the consumer need, how do we get it quickly and how do we bring it to our big brands with speed."
