In this Cloud Wars Expo Moment, Suvajit Basu, CIO and Head of Technology, GOYA Foods, Inc., discusses how Goya Foods is following its own advice by constantly looking forward, making bold entrepreneurial choices, and continuing to innovate.
Highlights
00:20 — In today’s world, businesses must constantly be looking forward. CXOs must incorporate all of their knowledge and vision beyond the screens that they’re in front of.
00:46 — GoyaFoods is well known for its cans of black beans, which the company manufactures, packages, and sells. The cost of the physical cans used by Goya to package their beans directly impacts the price at which the Goya beans are sold.
01:09 — When Goya was notified by the can vendor that the price of the 15 oz. can would be marked up by 64%, it made a bold move and bought the next six months’ worth of inventory at the lower price. It’s important to move and invest for the future when you have information about it, he adds.
01:52 — Basu concludes by reiterating that individuals must constantly be looking forward, allowing their vision to extend beyond the screen.
