Groceryshop 2026
Last night was a great reminder for me, of why in-person community still matters.
We brought together an exceptional group of CPG and commerce leaders for a great event during Groceryshop.
Everything that we do is centered on four core values:
1/ Community
2/ Connectivity
3/ Collaboration
4/ Career-enrichment
We had leaders around the table representing Torani (R. Torre & Co.), Mondelēz International, Foster Farms, LIPTON Teas and Infusions, Newell Brands, Mars, Blue Bottle Coffee, Ferrero, Perrigo Company plc, Kellanova, k2o and others.
A special thank-you to Jay Hunter, CEO of K2O (and arguably a second-cousin 😂), for serving as our guest of honor. Jay shared an honest and thoughtful perspective on building enduring brands, turning awareness into customer loyalty, managing growth across channels, and using data, creative testing and AI more effectively.
Thank you to everyone for attending and contributing their perspectives to the conversation.
There were no presentations and no formal agenda. Just smart people sharing experiences, making meaningful connections and looking for ways to help one another! Funny how valuable (and RARE) these experiences are, especially as we get further in our careers.
That is exactly what The CPG View and The Retail eCommerce Club are designed to create. This is also a major focus in my role at Pattern - helping to connect dots for others and add much more than we ever take!
Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening so memorable. I hope the relationships and conversations continue well beyond Groceryshop.
