His passion for different cultures and the search for solutions that improve people's lives motivate him to build bridges between different realities. In this interview, he explains how sustainability pressures can also power innovation.


What are the main challenges facing companies in the food, health and retail sectors today?

André Quental: Every company today is looking for ways to be more efficient and sustainable. Consumers and investors increasingly alike prefer companies seen as following the best environmental practices. These challenges have a silver lining: by demanding new solutions, they are also opening doors to innovation, and a more profitable future. Technology is key to unlock this potential.


What advice would you give to managers?

Internally, you need to create a welcoming environment and invest in the right equipment to optimize resource consumption. Also, invest in product quality and employee training. A happy and well-prepared team are vital.


Externally, it's essential to create a flawless customer experience, with personalized service and loyalty programs. If companies make this a priority, customers will be loyal and even become brand ambassadors. Keeping up with trends, adapting to public preferences and just trying out new products to see what works are will always be important to keep the business fresh and interesting.
