Jeffrey Buco shared thisI’ve been truly overwhelmed by the outpouring of love, stories, and memories shared about my dad. Hearing how he touched so many lives — through his mentorship, generosity, and passion for the flavor and fragrance industry — has been both humbling and deeply comforting for our family. Each story is a reminder of the remarkable impact he had, not only as a leader, but as a friend and human being. To those who knew him, worked with him, or were simply inspired by him — we’d love to continue hearing your experiences and memories. Please feel free to share your stories in the comments or reach out directly. They mean more to us than words can express and help keep his spirit alive. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to reach out. His legacy clearly lives on in the people and community he cared so deeply about.Jeffrey Buco shared thisIt is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved President, Tom Buco. Tom’s legacy lives on through his family, those he inspired, and the enduring example he set. For more details, please see the attached announcement.

Jeffrey Buco liked thisJeffrey Buco liked thisToday is my last day at Givaudan. And somehow, it feels like the end of a chapter, but also the beginning of something new. Looking back, I’m incredibly grateful for everything this experience has brought me: the trust, the challenges, the projects, and most importantly, the people I’ve had the chance to meet along the way. At Givaudan, I discovered so much about supply chain, raw materials, people, and about an industry that never fails to amaze me every time. More than anything, I’m leaving with lessons that go far beyond processes, projects, or business. Every challenge pushed me to grow, every collaboration taught me something, and every conversation left me with a new perspective. A huge thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey, colleagues, managers, partners, customers, and friends. Thank you for your trust, your support, the challenges, the laughs, and all the great memories. I’m proud of what we accomplished together and genuinely excited for what comes next. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store, embrace new challenges, keep learning, and step into a new chapter of my journey. Sometimes, closing one door is simply the first step toward discovering what’s behind the next one. Let's keep in touch! 😊

Jeffrey Buco reacted on thisJeffrey Buco reacted on thisI preordered four home robots. Not because I think they work. Because I'm counting on them to fail spectacularly on camera. Everybody in my feed is posting the demo reel. Perfect lighting, empty apartment, robot glides across hardwood and folds a single towel in 4x speed. Cool. Now put it in a 70 year old Chicago bungalow with floors that slope, a dog who considers the vacuum a personal enemy, and doorways built when people were shorter. That's the video I want. Here's my actual take, and it isn't cynical. Every genuinely useful piece of technology went through an embarrassing phase in public. Early Roombas ate cords and got stuck under couches. Self checkout screamed about unexpected items for a decade. The failures weren't a detour from the product working. They were how it learned what a real house looks like. Demos are staged on the happy path. Homes are nothing but edge cases. So yes, I want to watch four bots discover that my kitchen island isn't where the floor plan says it is. I want to see one of them get outsmarted by a rug. I want the moment where two of them meet in a hallway and both politely refuse to move for forty seconds. That's not me rooting against them. That's the most honest product review anyone will get. The marketing shows you what the machine can do. The failure footage shows you what it can't. Only one of those helps you decide whether to buy it. Four preorders. One hallway. Zero expectations. Content practically writes itself. #Robotics #SmartHome #Automation #ConsumerTech #AI

Alpha Executive Search
When a senior executive retires, they take a lot of institutional knowledge with them. Even a strong replacement can spend months piecing together context the business already had just a week ago. The smartest manufacturers capture that knowledge before the search deadline, then use it to define what the next leader needs to protect and where they need to take the operation next. See why the handoff needs to start before the retirement announcement → https://lnkd.in/eXjfHx2b
