Patrick Luke

CEO of Zigzag (Corporate Startup of Nestlé Purina PetCare Company)

Patrick led the in-house development of Zigzag from within the global petcare giant. He made a bold decision and inspired a mindset within stakeholders that afforded him a longer leash to navigate the frictions of corporate IT, finance, and governance with autonomy.

Patrick will open the session by sharing how they created a structure built for speed:

  • The approach that won over key stakeholders
  • Managing the evolving connection with the mothership
  • Key lessons: what worked and what didn’t

You’ll also have the opportunity to ask him questions and dive further into potential solutions.
