After 26 years at Unilever, Srinivas Phatak is now CFO at one of the most decisive moments in the company's recent history. We recently sat down to discuss what it takes to turn transformation into sustained performance. What feels different today is the clarity, and what comes with it. It is when strategy and financial logic line up - when investment choices, resource allocation, the long-term value story, and the narrative all point in the same direction.

The share of US adults who drink is at its lowest level in decades. But the bigger story in the alcohol market isn’t about how much people are drinking – it’s about how drinking is changing. Consumers are drinking more casually, more at home, and more often in smaller social settings. That shift is driving growth in categories like RTD cocktails and non-alcoholic beer, while challenging traditional portfolio strategies. As Nicol Zhou, Chris Goodchild, Claudia Schubert, and Sacha Karim explain in their new article, the brands gaining momentum are aligning with those moments directly.

GLP-1s are changing more than appetite. They are reshaping how users eat. Users report fewer meals, fewer snacks, and a shift away from indulgent categories toward protein, fiber, and functional formats. But the more important insight is not the initial shift, it is what happens next. Consumption does not simply drop and stay down. It follows predictable patterns over time. Some behaviors rebound, some persist, and some continue to evolve even after users stop treatment. The result is a demand profile that is dynamic, not static. Categories that assume a one-time shock may miss the longer-term impact of persistence, rebound, and behavior carryover. Learn more about how GLP-1s are impacting consumption and consumer behavior below, and keep an eye out for our upcoming article publication from BCG’s Center for Customer Insight and @BCG on Consumer as we share insights from our Global Consumer Radar and GLP-1 supplementary survey. To discuss how this shifting consumer behavior will impact your business, please feel free to reach out to our team – Lauren Taylor Flavia Lima Gemignani Yotam Ariav Jeff Gell Nathan Shenck Aparna Bharadwaj Suchita Shah Joe Malgesini and Christian Leavitt
