As The Wall Street Journal reported at the time: “Net profit was €1.14bn in the first six months of 2015 up 88 percent from the €631m a year earlier Consolidated revenue rose seven percent to €9.9bn from €9.3bn.” This beat many expectations for the company’s performance its focus on emerging markets was cited as the reason for these strong figures While western Europe saw negative organic growth in 2015 all other regions saw at least one percent organic growth Heineken’s revenues grew by 6.5 percent to €20.51bn through the year so far have not been so positive for Heineken: revenues grew by 6.5 percent to €20.51bn through the year so far Any disappointing results were held to be down to the challenging external environment Van Boxmeer is still adamant his strategy of focusing on emerging markets is the way forward Van Boxmeer had already anticipated such a slowdown in 2015: “We expect further volatility in emerging markets and deflationary pressures in 2015”, the Financial Times reporting him saying, when the rosy figures for 2015 were released. Growth, he anticipated, would be “more moderate”.

the world's second-biggest brewer Heineken CEO Jean-François van Boxmeer is to step down in June ending a 15-year tenure at the helm of the world’s second-biggest brewer Having held the CEO post for eight years – and having worked for Heineken International for almost 30 – van Boxmeer has led the 140-year-old family business through a continued period of prosperity He has brought a specific focus on emerging markets and a notably aggressive acquisition strategy Belgian-born businessman joined Heineken International in 1984 shortly after earning a Masters Degree in Economics at Facultè Universitaires Notre Dame de la Paix Working as a trainee in the Netherlands until 1987 van Boxmeer demonstrated dynamic and adaptable business acumen through his work in Rwanda before being made General Manager of Heineken Italia from 2000 to 2001 he was appointed Chairman of the Board and CEO intending to both streamline and expand the company He has since embarked on a crusade by unsentimentally reducing Heineken’s 36-member executive committee to 13 as well as focusing on developing markets and spurring acquisition-based growth – often asserting his dominance over competitors principally through initiatives designed and implemented by van Boxmeer One campaign of particular note was 2006’s ‘Fit 2 Fight’ programme which resulted in a staggering 10 percent annual growth rate with improved sales in vibrant Eastern European markets and typically stale US ones in large part due to exuberant acquisitions Heineken Premium Light was introduced to the US The brand captured 0.4 percent of the market snatching precious pieces of the pie from popular labels such as Bud Light and Michelob Ultra The success of the brand cemented his reputation as a worthy leader and promised great things for the future Though he achieved instantaneous results upon becoming CEO the learned economist maintains that “we have to take the long view in this industry” and that acquisitions are the answer to sustained growth Van Boxmeer affirms Heineken’s “respect for people environment and culture of performance” in its longstanding commitment to extending its reach across the globe which we sell in 179 countries… and in addition relevant to the market in which we operate.” With developed markets offering little opportunity for growth van Boxmeer has outlined his plans for better penetrating emerging markets: “Over the [last] decade we have seen the growth of an emerging urban middle class and these people are at the heart of beer consumption the investments we make in the African continent are absolutely key to our global growth.” In its continued adaptation to the demands of developed markets Heineken has had to make greater investments in new media Van Boxmeer persists that “the marketing war is all about being part of the conversation” Recent investments have seen Heineken receiving product placements in the last two James Bond films as well as sponsoring the European Champions League and the Heineken Cup “We have shifted more towards global advertising,” says van Boxmeer in reference to the importance of mobile phones and of the internet in reaching consumers Growth in Europe and the US is “all about innovation” and requires a greater understanding of new digital platforms in order to grab a greater share of the market “Our investments in new media are key to our strategy These things can be part of the conversation and can make your brand exciting for consumers.” and 16.6 times what it paid for Japan’s Sapporo Holdings Heineken’s debt ratio will rise to 3.3 – well above the brewer’s target of 2.5 Van Boxmeer therefore aims for the 2.5 ratio to be reached within two years of the deal’s completion This huge acquisition will mean an inability to acquire further assets in the immediate future and a necessary return to generating profits for payback van Boxmeer’s composure under the circumstances promises a swift return to profit for a brewery whose focus lies more on consolidation at present van Boxmeer says “a fish rots from the head,” and that under his continued leadership Heineken will expand its share of the market and improve profits above and beyond expectations for years to come 2023-07-27T14:03:00 The Belgian will hand over to Dolf van den Brink, president of the group’s Asia Pacific region, who joined Heineken in 1998, also as a management trainee. He previously has run its American and Mexican regions. The decision of the supervisory board to appoint Mr van den Brink, 47, a Dutchman, as chief executive of the world’s second biggest brewer appears to have precipitated the exit of Stefan Orlowski, 53, its Europe president who had been widely regarded as one of the favourites for the top job.

To celebrate the day in the U.S. of A, NBC and NBCSN are provided nine hours of NHL action The Montreal Canadiens hosting the New Jersey Devils is part of their broadcast schedule as an assistant coach for the Devils tonight and had an integral part in a Sunday February telecast by NBC in 1974 Suffice to say, the second period of the national broadcast between the Canadiens and the Philadelphia Flyers ended in a bit of a tussle You’ve likely seen the following clip a few times in the past The melee was a buildup that followed Dave Schultz’s retaliation punch on the Canadiens John Van Boxmeer on a delayed tripping call on the Canadiens rookie Van Boxmeer gave the Flyers tough guy a shove as the whistle blew and the pair got tied up but apparently had his head down and did not see the punch coming Even Schultz was surprised by how quick it happened Clearly back then there was no dark room for the NHL “John really threw a scare into Schultz,” said Canadiens defenceman Pierre Bouchard “Schultz had a look on his face as if he were afraid he had killed him.” Bouchard confronted Flyers captain Bobby Clarke in the corner and his teammates came immediately to his aid You’ll also notice that Robinson appears on the scene late He had already made his way to the Canadiens dressing room fearful that he might trip over his partially tied skates Robinson and Schultz paired off in a four punch fight that saw Big Bird land all the decisive blows “He grazed my head three times,” admitted Schultz after the game referee Art Skov had dished out 91 minutes in penalties The Flyers Bob Kelly and Andre DuPont were both tossed for being the third man in with the former getting an additional four minutes for being the first to leave the bench Kelly later received a one-game suspension for his actions Robinson and Bouchard all received fighting majors though Clarke and Bouchard admitted they never even threw a punch at each other already serving a five-minute high sticking major left the penalty box and was assessed an additional two minutes and also given the boot there was no man in between the benches for the networks telecasts Can you imagine a Pierre McGuire type trying to do an interview with Fred Shero or Scotty Bowman following this NBC play-by-play man Tim Ryan said that Clarke had the reputation of being a “dirty player,” to which analyst “Terrible” Ted Lindsay said “He isn’t dirty If you don’t have guts and you can’t take it Chuck Lefley and Murray Wilson both scored in the second period for the Canadiens who were drained following the period ending brawl Gary Dornhoefer scored on a point shot that Canadiens goalie Wayne Thomas admitted he lost sight of Ross Lonsberry capitalized on Guy Lapointe’s whiff on a pass attempt in the defensive end to tie the game up Philadelphia outshot the Habs 12-6 in the final 20 minutes The Canadiens knew they had to play physically today “Maybe they thought they had us after that and I don’t think they hit anyone in the third period.” the fans at the Forum gave both teams a standing ovation.”The fans really enjoyed it the Canadiens held a 2-1-1 series lead over the Flyers The “Broad Street Bullies” evened the series with a 6-0 win two weeks later on route to their first ever Stanley Cup this was the first season that players wore name tags on their jerseys for NBC telecasts The network asked NHL President Clarence Campbell to do so to make it easier for their viewers to identify the players until they became mandatory at the start of the 1977-78 season Note: Thanks to Francis Bouchard for digging up the lead photo and digging up further notes, and Robert Lefebvre, for also lending a hand. Robert also has a earlier post, highlighting this game and more of Robinson’s heroics
