“We started our transformation with a change in mindset. Once our teams realized that we were not a separate entity from the business, the whole conversation changed.”
Aldo Caceres
Chief Quality Officer
Munich, Germany | June 9 - 10, 2026
We explored how leaders are redefining the role of quality across the enterprise — shifting from functional oversight to strategic leadership. As AI reshapes decision-making and operating models, leading organizations are rethinking how quality drives performance, resilience, and competitive advantage. This year’s Quality Leaders Executive Summit brought together an exceptional group of leaders who shared how they are evolving their organizations, operating models, and leadership mandates for the next era.
DESCRIPTION
Kenvue is repositioning quality from a control function to a driver of business performance. At the center of this shift is a digital operating model that unifies quality assurance, quality control, and training on Veeva QualityOne. By connecting processes, data, and people end to end, Kenvue is improving speed, consistency, and decision-making, while establishing the foundation to scale AI across quality operations.
