“ At the same time , we ' ve been a steadily growing company for decades . In that sense , nothing has really changed other than things just going even quicker . Our internal business customers are asking for more modern and optimised solutions to help them become more productive . They are constantly searching for improved ways of doing things at lower costs . We need to ensure we ’ re delivering new solutions that meet their expectations . The speed of change is far greater than ever before , and our team is up for the challenge and we ’ re having fun at the same time .
“ I ’ m tasked with making sure that we remain agile to meet our changing business demands and can pivot as needed , remaining innovative and failing fast . The important part is we ' re moving forward as a company and leveraging technology in the most optimised fashion ,” Petruccelli says , outlining his role in such a critical transformation .
Lallemand has over a hundred sites globally , present on all continents and found in 100 + different countries . As a very multicultural organisation , Petruccelli says that they follow the important philosophy of “ think global and act local ”.
“ In the morning , we could be talking to our users in Europe , South Africa , or South America , then in the afternoon , we could be assisting our users in North America , and in the evening , we can see ourselves working with our business colleagues in Australia . We ' re interacting with our businesses the way they require , and it ' s not a one-size-fitsall scenario ,” says Petruccelli .
