Managing Through the Coronavirus: China CEO Interview Series, Episode 3
Join consumer sector leaders on their webcast managing through the spread of the coronavirus.
The spread of the coronavirus is drastically changing how businesses operate. China-based CEOs were the first to encounter many of these changes and have had to come up with strategies for fractured supply chains, government ordered lockdowns, and changing consumer demands. AmCham Shanghai, partnering with the Washington State China Relations Council, presents a series of in-depth interviews with CEOs in China on their advice for companies managing through these extraordinary times.
The third webinar will focus on operational issues in the consumer sector. It will feature a discussion with Anna Pawlak-Kuliga, China CEO of IKEA, and Jan Craps, Chief Executive Officer of Budweiser APAC, and President of APAC AB InBev. They will talk about their experiences managing two very different consumer businesses during the coronavirus epidemic and its continuing aftermath, including the lessons they have learned, and how they are positioning their businesses for an anticipated consumption recovery. The webinar will take place at 12 pm, Friday, April 24th China Standard Time / 9 pm, Thursday, April 23rd Pacific Standard Time.
