From Strategy to Structured Execution

Message from the CEO

Every business sector and market segment faces the impact of a single major business trend which emerged during the last months of 2025.

Organizations show high ambition through their established goals, yet they fail to develop suitable methods which would help them reach their targets.

The Food & Beverage sector along with packaging and industrial and technology markets continue to present numerous growth prospects. The United States continues to draw foreign businesses which want to enter its expanding market. Demand exists.

Organizations need to maintain discipline while leaders who share one purpose should guide the organization toward sustainable growth.

The company spent Q4 of 2025 working on its execution platform development while the industry expanded and the company entered the U.S. market and underwent leadership transitions and built its commercial framework for 2026 business operations.

Our organization operates with one central business goal which serves as our main organizational focus.

The organization needs to convert its strategic plan into performance targets which will produce enduring results.

Cyril Moreau

CEO, International Executive Consulting LLC

Expanded Food & Beverage & Packaging Capabilities

The Food & Beverage and packaging-related bench of IEC has experienced substantial growth during the previous weeks to provide enhanced support for manufacturers and equipment providers and ingredient suppliers who work in worldwide supply networks.

The company expansion provides direct assistance to clients who need help with the following situations:

  • U.S. market entry and expansion
  • Operational scale-up
  • Margin optimization
  • Supply chain complexity
  • Cross-border growth initiatives
Senior U.S.-Based Operations & Supply Chain Leadership

IEC has added senior U.S.-based leadership with deep experience across Food & Beverage and CPG environments, including:

  • Manufacturing & plant operations
  • S&OP and demand planning
  • Procurement strategy and cost optimization
  • Distribution network design
  • U.S. and Southeast Asia operating models

Our organization now has better capabilities to assist clients who need help with both their strategic planning at the board level and their operational execution.

Dedicated Food & Beverage / Ingredients Expertise

The company has built up its own unique skills which now serve different business sectors.

  • Category and portfolio strategy
  • Product innovation & commercialization
  • Commercial excellence programs

The U.S. and LATAM regions function as entry points which manufacturers and suppliers use to access their respective markets.

The method allows consultants to build their expertise in particular business domains instead of following predetermined consulting methods.

Stronger On-the-Ground U.S. Execution

IEC maintained its execution support through all stages of the project.

  • Southeast
  • Midwest

These regions align closely with where many international Food & Beverage and packaging companies are building customer relationships, production partnerships, and distribution networks.

Organizations can reach their targets more efficiently through direct execution team involvement because this approach enables them to create shared goals which result in their desired outcomes.

Execution Architecture & Leadership Alignment

The failure of growth occurs because of insufficient vision.

The program fails because it does not have any organized sequence of operations.

The company focused its Q4 work on building Execution Architecture which combined leadership systems with decision-making power and operational scheduling and performance monitoring systems.

The following industry-specific challenges continue to cause problems for all sectors:

  • Unclear ownership across functions
  • Pipeline growth without delivery readiness
  • Expansion initiatives launched without governance clarity
  • KPIs disconnected from financial performance

IEC supports clients for developing their organization:

  • Clear governance and decision frameworks
  • Operational scorecards tied to measurable outcomes
  • Cross-functional accountability models
  • Structured S&OP and execution cadences
  • Leadership rhythms that sustain performance

The way an organization operates will decide if its business expansion leads to sustainable growth or develops into an unmanageable growth situation.

Commercial Activation & Pipeline Development

The organization needs to convert its operational readiness into business-ready opportunities which will enable executives to establish business relationships.

Partnership with Ever Outbound

The structured lead generation process received support from IEC through their partnership with Ever Outbound which operates as a dedicated outbound growth company that builds pipelines through methodical executive relationship development.

Ever Outbound supports IEC by:

  • Creating specific outbound marketing programs which focus on our main business sectors
  • Developing an eligible candidate pool through research-based methods which will help them identify customer segments
  • Drawing in decision-makers who lead organizations ranging from small businesses to mid-market companies
  • Organizing multi-point outreach methods which work best for B2B sales operations that involve complicated sales processes
Executive Outreach & Appointment Setting – Executive Meeting Experts

The go-to-market execution of IEC receives additional support through Executive Meeting Experts who join the company to work with its internal marketing team and partner network.

Executive Meeting Experts uses its extensive knowledge of lead generation and executive-level appointment setting to find C-level decision-makers who actively seek solution purchases.

Their dedicated team specializes in:

  • Finding and authenticating C-suite executives who lead organizations from small businesses to mid-sized companies
  • Providing its staff members with the opportunity to join senior-level meetings which serve as the strategic decision-making platform for the organization
  • Enabling organizations to handle intricate B2B sales operations which depend on proper timing and credibility and relevant content delivery

The partnership enables go-to-market initiatives to create authentic executive dialogues which produce high-quality leads that drive measurable business growth instead of performing basic administrative work.

Welcoming Joey – January 2026

  • Execution-first U.S. / International market entry roadmaps

The main goal stays unchanged: help leadership teams move from ambition to durable performance.
