CANDICE SISSING
Head of Business Insights
Having joined Pernod Ricard SSA six weeks before hard lockdown in 2020, I was initially very excited... and then my excitement quickly turned into intense anxiety. I was in a new role, in a new company - and there was a lot of uncertainty in the world, and in the industry.
Little did I know that, despite the uncertainty in the world and with the pandemic raging around us, Pernod Ricard provided stability during that time, and truly lived the value of 'putting our people first'.
Since then, so much has changed for me and for Pernod Ricard. We have adjusted to the changes in the world, embraced these changes, and been open to new experiences and learnings. I have learned a lot about the Pernod Ricard way of doing business, and I've been able to add my insights to the business across Sub-Saharan Africa.
I look forward to more experiences with Pernod Ricard, and across the continent.
GARETH DE GEE
Head of Procurement
Early in 2021, I started my journey at Pernod Ricard South Africa as a consultant, providing support to the Operations team as a third party supplier. After spending just a few days with the team, I started asking myself 'What IF a role became available? Would I apply if it did?'/
The next three months were extremely productive, and I interacted extensively with the CODI team and other senior managers in the organisation. During the course of my contract, Pernod Ricard kept drawing me in more and more, and several things about the company and people stood out for me. The 'Createurs de convivialité showed me a completely different meaning of what I knew the corporate world to be.
I've now taken on the role of Head of Procurement at Pernod Ricard, which has given me the scope to fully use my skills as a procurement professional, and to work on various creative campaigns and projects within the organisation. This environment has enabled me to grow from strength to strength, and I look forward to my future at Pernod Ricard.
