ALTIX ACCESS
FOR DECISION MAKERS WHO CHAMPION BUSINESS
Dear Friend,
 
While we were excited to put 2021 in the rearview mirror and press the reset button for a "post-covid" 2022, the first two months of the new year have definitely kept us all on edge and bracing for new challenges ahead.

Yet, as shared by Joren Knockaert, CEO Deceuninck North America in this edition of the Industry Champion Interview, yesterday's challenges have forced us to biff up our entrepreneurial spirit and refocus on our culture in order to grow a resilient and agile organization that is ready to compete in today's highly volatile environment.

Similarly to Joren, we continue to be inspired every day by the people that we are privileged to work with, our customers, our partners, our team members, whose drive for excellence exemplifies the best the world has to offer. Please enjoy a selection of uplifting news and updates, and a celebration of excellence, resilience and leadership, as we continue to navigate challenging and exciting and times.

Best,
Anne Cappel
Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer, Altix Consulting

It is a great honor to support this outstanding group of Operations Leaders and witness, month after month, their growth, and the impact they have on their team and their company.

Registration for the 2022-2023 cohort will open in April. Space is limited to 15 participants. Please reach out to andreas.brockmann@altixconsulting.com to learn more and to reserve your / Operations Leaders spot for the upcoming October 2022 to June 2023 program in Greater Cincinnati.
