Event costs have been covered by The Garage Group so it is free to attend the event. Join us at WeWork Kinzie in Chicago, IL, 20 W Kinzie St, Chicago, IL 60654 on May 30th at 5 pm. In March, we hosted battle-tested BigCo leaders from Gatorade, Pepsico, Grainger, and Mondelez as they spoke to how their large organizations are operationalizing startup approaches. Here are a few of our favorite quotes from March’s panel:
“From an innovation standpoint, you don’t want to sprint for the sake of sprinting.” – Chris Hintermeister, Senior Manager, Innovation, Gatorade
“Get things off of paper into the real world.” – Tharius Sumter, Director, Global Portfolio Insights, Pepsico
“Within startups it is do or die. How do you create do or die within a big company, because that’s what’s needed.” – Barry Calpino, Senior Innovation Leader, experience at Conagra, Mondelez, SCJ, Newell, Wrigley, & Kellogg’s
“It’s about finding the right people, at the right time at different points in the journey. That’s what real collaboration is about.” – Erin Overly, Head of Brand Communications, Grainger
