AAD Kenvue

So Thibault and the worthless Kenvue leadership team spent last week on a boondoggle at AAD. They somehow managed to send 143 people to the event! (I know hard to believe but I counted) Meanwhile Walmart - their larges customer held a beauty event and they sent no one.
So much for customer being a priority.
This isn’t going to end well.

That’s terrible - no wonder the activists are talking about board seats, and replacing him as CEO, and the know nothing CIO, the paranoid CTO, and the incompetent supply chain leader.
 




And… the incompetent Marketing Leaders who tanked our best selling brands!
Agree our marketing is horrible. They seem to be getting really defensive about AAD and the stupid over investment, to show off technology they don't have, rather than visiting customer events. The leadership is posting all over linked in why it was such a great event.. They protest too much. This company has no technology, especially with the terrible CTO its all marketing - they need to get out in front of customers.

it’s Twilight Zone at Kenvue. All we talk about in IT is cutting costs and cutting people. Meanwhile the executives are partying like drunken sailors at AAD. Bad look.
 


AAD in general is a scam. 75% of booth attendees are foreign. Of the 25% that came by, 90% aren't targets.

We give a shit ton of money and get little in return. We would be better off just having a desk top display and putting the money into Fall Clinical, which is attendeed by American docs who prescribe branded psoriasis agents.

But marketing likes to serve their masters, so the charade continues.
 








Weren't a whole bunch of people just laid off in IT? Thought they would have rightsized when they adjusted all those roles with the separation?

No there is another round coming.
Thibault is panicking about no growth and there is no innovation so the only way Ruh can make it work is to cut the expense line - drastically.

Not a surprise. The Consumer Group has never been customer-centric in any way. They see customers as a barrier to reaching the consumer as opposed to seeing them as partners. If they did the math, they'd understand how important it is to build relationships, be visible with customers like Walmart, and invest in true joint value creation. When the management team does fly out to customers, they waste time with platitudes and lining up on things that really won't affect the business much. They continue to make choices that affect retailers' financials negatively. That's not a winning formula. Most of the North American leadership now comes from Europe and that makes things even worse. They don't understand the market and think you can command customers to do what you want because that's how they do it in Europe. This ain't Europe folks.

How long is Meurer going to last? I hear Carltons days are numbered too. The results in August look like they are going to be another no growth catastrophe. Tillet isnt delivering on innovation either, no one left who knows what they are doing, although I also hear Mongon is actively looking for a replacement for her.
 


The best thing Mongo can do for Kenvue is to fire all his useless LT members and quit. Disorganised COO messed up her own organization, brought in toxic brutal and useless people who think they know it all and are above all. there is no structure in what they do. Look at how each region is organised itself. if the company is not doing well, instead of firing the poor workers, they themselves should take responsibility, feel ashamed of themselves and resign. Why make others suffer when you are the ones create the problems for the company?
