ADAPTING TO STORMY WATERS

CEO North America April 2022 – Spring marked the shift from one calamity to another. A world already spooked by the COVID-19 pandemic saw itself faced with a new global disturbance: the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

At the moment of writing it is not clear what this war will bring, aside from an already record-breaking stream of refugees and thousands of dead. This invasion is already dividing the world into blocks and BlackRock’s Larry Fink even spoke of the “end of globalization” in a letter to shareholders.

By the time this edition is in the readers we hope the war will be over and Ukraine will be at peace, though it does not seem likely. We expect like in all wars many of the consequences will be unintended and unforeseen. It seems clear than energy prices and food prices will be severely effected globally, striking as always the poorest members of society.

How the global financial systems and global trade will be affected remains a mystery. It also remains to be seen how relations between western powers and the developing world evolve in the pressure cooker of economic warfare. Somehow it feels like great change is afoot.

We think the corporate world will learn to navigate these turbulent waters. This edition is full of examples of lightning quick innovation and adaptation. Several of the CEOs we have featured have led their companies through some of the most dynamic and complex business environments on record. Whatever the future holds, we remain confident that the global business community has the means to evolve and thrive.

Through the interconnected and interdependant global economy we hope the world can once more find its way to peace.

“As CEO, one of my initial discussions with the board was that there was a real need for us to evolve from a manufacturing centric company to an innovation centric company. We needed to embrace being a company with a focus on products, technologies and customers rather than on manufacturing assets and production expertise. And that was a tough discussion. ”
RAVI VIG / PRESIDENT & CEO, ALLEGRO speaking to CEO North America

“We, TCSers, have something unique, something special – a deep understanding of our customers’ business, of their systems and processes. This contextual knowledge, combined with proficiency in new technologies, will position us ahead of pure play technology or consulting companies..”
