Suite Talk: From Nespresso to BE WTR — Innovating by challenging assumptions

from The Afternoon Update with Lynlee Foo · host MONEY FM 89.3

On Suite Talk, Lynlee Foo speaks with Mike Hecker, founder and CEO of BE WTR, a Swiss company that recently accelerated its Southeast Asia expansion and is challenging the long-held belief that premium water has to be imported. From helping build Nespresso in its early days to launching businesses that rethink everyday products, Mike reflects on entrepreneurship, conviction, innovation and the value of questioning assumptions. He shares the philosophy that guides his decisions, why being told something can't work motivates him, and the advice he now gives his sons about taking risks and building something meaningful. Suite Talk explores how leaders think, decide and operate — the person behind the role, not just the title.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
