AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, announced the latest episode of its popular podcast, Breaking Down Boxes, featuring a special introduction of four new guest hosts. This episode marks a significant moment as the podcast transitions to fresh voices while continuing its tradition of sharing compelling and relatable stories from the independent packaging sector.
In this episode, Virginia Humphrey, AICC’s podcast producer, introduces the new guest hosts: Mike Schaefer, President of Tavens Packaging & Display; Jeff Pallini, President of Fosber America; Simona Georgescu, Founder of Adduco Communications; and George Perreira, Vice President of Moyy.
Each new host shares their journey into the packaging industry, providing listeners with a deeper understanding of their backgrounds, expertise, and the motivations that drive them. From George Perreira’s transition from the ministry to sales at Moyy, to Mike Schaefer’s unplanned but rewarding entry into the box business, the episode is filled with stories that resonate with the challenges and triumphs of the independent sector.
Listeners will also hear from Jeff Pallini, whose career path led him from the tissue industry in Italy to getting Fosber America up and running, and Simona Georgescu, who has made a significant impact in the packaging and graphic arts space with her communications firm. Each host brings a unique approach to storytelling, promising to offer fresh insights and dynamic discussions in future episodes.
The September episode is just the beginning, with more engaging conversations set to air in the coming months. The new hosts are committed to continuing the legacy of Breaking Down Boxes by delving into the personal and professional stories that make the independent packaging sector so vibrant.
“AICC is fortunate to have such a deep bench that we find multiple hosts that can continue to bring the world compelling stories straight from our great members,” said AICC President Mike D’Angelo.
