CxO Stories with Reto Sahli, Group CDIO of HAVI: Leading with purpose
In this episode of CxO Stories, Jean-Pierre Green speaks with Reto Sahli, Group Chief Digital & Information Officer at HAVI and Managing Director of the HAVI TechHUB, about his route to the C-suite and what it takes to lead technology transformation at global scale.
Reto's career has unfolded in three distinct chapters: twelve years in hospitality management, a move into management consulting at PwC, and then technology - more than 20 roles across 16 years at Kraft and Mondelez, followed by Group CDIO positions at Asahi Europe & International and now HAVI. He reflects on the myth of the linear career, the case for treating your own path as a strategic undertaking rather than something handed to you, and the value of patience and sponsorship along the way.
The conversation explores the turnaround Reto inherited at HAVI, why he started with the organisation before the strategy, and the rigorous location analysis behind HAVI's global technology hubs, including the Lisbon TechHUB, grown from a barely populated serviced office to around 260 positions and heading toward 400. He also makes the case for the CDIO's seat at the executive committee table, predicts consolidation across CIO, CDO and chief AI roles, and shares a clear warning on AI investment: strategy first, spend second.
A candid and practical discussion on transformation, building capability from the ground up, and why, after decades of change at global scale, it still comes down to the people.
