Advantage Solutions CEO Dave Peacock sat down with PNC C-Speak recently for a two-part podcast<\/a> that touched on his extensive and diverse career journey, his leadership style, how he sees the current business landscape and what drew him to lead Advantage almost one year ago. And, not least of all, his passion for his hometown of St. Louis. Below are some highlights of his interview:<\/p>\n

On St. Louis<\/h2>\n

Peacock has strong roots in St. Louis, where he was born and raised and where he went on to leadership roles in two of the region\u2019s largest companies, as president of Anheuser-Busch and president and COO of Schnuck Markets. He\u2019s also a diehard fan and an active proponent of the city\u2019s professional sports scene. He\u2019s currently prepping for Advantage to officially open its new corporate headquarters in the metro area in early 2024.<\/p>\n

In addition to Peacock\u2019s admitted personal bias for the city, \u201cSt. Louis is perfect for us in the sense that it’s central to the U.S. Our clients and customers are some of the nation’s largest retailers and consumer products companies, and many of them are based in the Midwest and the East. This gets us closer, shorter times on planes as we go visit them. There’s also amazing talent here. We’ve had great success filling some key positions here as we’ve been building up our business.\u201d<\/p>\n

His Road to Advantage<\/h2>\n

Peacock\u2019s previous leadership positions on both sides of the retail equation set him up perfectly to take over the lead role at Advantage in February 2023. \u201cI’ve got background both with consumer products goods with Anheuser-Busch, and then retail with Schnucks. You typically find people that have one or the other. So having that perspective puts me in a good position to both work with our clients, or consumer products companies, understanding their needs, but also what retail is looking for from consumer-product companies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those roles \u2014 and a stint as part owner of the largest Jamba Juice franchise in the country with 1,000 front-line teammates \u2014 helped Peacock understand the importance of those workers to the business. At Advantage, which has 60,000 front-line and hourly teammates in full- and part-time roles in the United States and globally, \u201chow we motivate those workers and create career tracks and opportunities for them is one of our most important functions,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Focusing on opportunity creation, internal career tracks, and customer engagement at every level, Peacock\u2019s leadership philosophy reflects Advantage\u2019s people-first culture.<\/p>\n

People-First Approach<\/h3>\n

\u201cOur organization is really a people-first organization,\u201d Peacock says. \u201cWe’re thoughtful in every decision we make and how it affects our people and how can we create more opportunities for our people. At the end of the day, if we take care of our people the way we think we should and give them the opportunities to grow, our business will take care of itself. We believe strongly in that.\u201d<\/p>\n
