‘South Africa Is A Paradise For Carnivores'

He tells us of two extraordinary experiences – an official trip through five African countries and a special vacation in South Africa where he experienced the FIFA World Cup and relished their game meat

I would recommend travelling for everyone, irrespective of their role. All the travel clichés are true – travel widens your horizons and exposes you to new ideas and cultures. From a professional standpoint, I always give bonus points to people who are keen to travel. Willingness to travel is a good measure of character, in my opinion. For someone in a sales or marketing role, travel is essential to understand customers and the market dynamics better, so I always encourage people to do that as much as possible. We have a program in Kohler called ‘Talent Across Borders’ which encourages people to travel to various geographies to learn new skills, understand best practices from other markets and become truly global managers. This brings in an extraordinary richness and diversity to the way we work.
