Episode #36 | DIFFERENT MIX BRINGS DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES
Pursuing the Perfect Pint – Episode #36 | Different Mix Brings Different Perspectives Why does gender diversity matter to business? In Episode #36, Brent Atthill speaks with Sharon Peake, Founder & CEO of Shape Talent , about the business case for bringing different perspectives into traditionally male-dominated industries such as brewing, malting and distilling. Sharon shares research linking gender diversity with better decision-making, innovation and business performance, alongside lessons from her time at SABMiller on developing female talent and building stronger leadership pipelines. They also explore why “every appointment matters” — and why the people businesses recruit and promote today can shape their success for years to come. Plus, Brent and Danielle discuss the latest market picture, from European drought and geopolitical disruption to why the global grain outlook may be less bleak than the headlines suggest. Gender diversity isn’t just good practice. It’s good business.
