Doug Rauch, co-chief executive officer of Conscious Capitalism, will deliver the keynote address at the 2017 Global Cold Chain Expo (GCCE) joint opening general session, which kicks off at 8:35 AM on June 14. The show, which is co-located with the FreshTEC, International Floriculture and Fresh MKT, will run from June 13-15 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois.
Doug Rauch of Conscious Capitalism is the keynote speaker for the GCCE’s joint opening general session on June 14.Rauch previously spent 31 years with Trader Joe’s Company, retiring from the retail food chain in 2008 after serving the last 14 years as president. His work with Conscious Capitalism looks at how four specific tenets – higher purpose, stakeholder integration, conscious leadership and conscious culture – can simultaneously build stronger businesses and improve society as a whole.
Rauch is a recent senior fellow at the Harvard University Advanced Leadership Initiative. At that time he focused on the challenges of food waste, hunger and obesity, which motivated him to become the founder and president of Daily Table. In that position he developed ways to procure both grab-n-go meals and basic groceries at pennies on the dollar to provide affordable nutrition to those in need of assistance.
There will be parties and cocktail receptions for socializing at the Expo.
