The Active & Intelligent Packaging Industry Association (AIPIA) announces the appointment of Stéphane Piqué from Accenture as the new chair of its Advisory Board. He takes over from Dick de Koning of Packz who has held the post since 2015 and will be staying on the Board.
Based in Switzerland, Stéphane has spent the last five years leading Accenture’s Industry X practice in Switzerland and overall Industry X sales in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria–driving the digital transformation of the industry. Stéphane is also leading the global Smart Packaging activities for Accenture. He offers advice and support to major clients in their digital transformation. He is also a guest lecturer in digital transformation at St Gallen University and is a member of Accenture’s Swiss Board of Management.
Given that this is a family business, it’s no surprise that deep down Harald has always hoped his children would one day take over and carry on the legacy. At first only his daughter Caroline, the eldest of his two children, joined the firm. It wasn’t until around three years ago that 37-year-old son Felix finally decided to work in the company. For a long time this move was not a certainty. “I did a few internships with B.Grimm,” says the young man. “But since my early 20s, I have been passionate about meditation and spirituality.” So much so that he spent years traversing the globe, including years in Buddhist monasteries in Nepal and attending Christian spiritual centres in Brazil and retreats in the United States. “Meditating is still my favourite thing to do in life,” he adds. “There is just something so powerful and compelling to me about the inner universe it is much richer and more rewarding than the outside world.”
