It's Time To Change The Rules
It's Time To Change The Rules

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 04, 2015 -- Andrew Berlin has led Berlin Packaging over the last 27 years developing a juggernaut in the packaging industry while growing the value of the company from $69 million to $1.43 billion.

In this five episode podcast series of Innovate For The Future, Andrew Berlin Chairman and CEO, and Jeremy Lagomarsino, Executive VP of Business Development and Strategy for Berlin Packaging, discuss the company’s vision, culture, value proposition, business model, and innovations with the show’s host Dirk Beveridge.

Andrew has evolved Berlin Packaging from being just another distributor caught in a world of sameness to becoming a role model of innovation and leadership for every privately-held independent distributor.

Post this

“I’m thrilled to bring these intimate discussions I had with Andrew and Jeremy -- 30 minutes at a time -- to our UnleashWD community and the entire wholesale distribution industry,” Beveridge said. “I’ve known Andrew for more than 20 years and have watched him evolve Berlin Packaging from being just another distributor caught in a world of sameness to becoming a role model of innovation and leadership for every privately-held independent distributor.”

Andrew Berlin added, “Dirk and I share a passion for transforming the people and companies that surround us. I hope listeners of this podcast series will find ideas and inspiration that help them become greater, faster.”

This entire series and all episodes of Innovate For The Future will be available in iTunes and on Beveridge’s new website. Episode one in the series is available today. From the website, listeners will be able to download the episode transcript and access links of all the resources discussed in the episode.
