(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nKroger's new CEO, who took the role in February after leading Walmart U.S. and Air New Zealand, is focused on speed and execution, per Digiday.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): watch Kroger's approval cycles for new SKUs and shelf placements shorten. If you've got product ready to go, the next 6-12 months will be the easiest window to pitch new items or shelf positions. Submit now before the new CEO's teams lock in next year's planograms. Speed of pitch and clarity of sell-through data will matter more than ever.\nWhat that means for you: This is not about the CEO as a personality. It's about what 'speed' looks like inside a sprawling grocery network. Walmart does things faster than most retailers. If that mentality lands at Kroger, the shelf window opens for operators who can ship fast and prove velocity early.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Digiday: https://digiday.com/media/krogers-new-ceo-a-walmart-veteran-is-focused-on-speed-and-execution/?utm_campaign=digidaydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
