Question #1
Given the mixed results from his M&A playbook at both DSM and Aptar, does Tanda prioritize the strategic allure of transformative acquisitions over the rigorous discipline required to deliver their promised financial returns?
Question #2
As Tanda’s track record shows repeated success in B2B environments but consistent struggles in consumer-facing units like Aptar’s Beauty segment and DSM’s omega-3 business, does he have the operational intuition to fix a consumer-driven business, or does he tend to misjudge market shifts and delegate these challenges?
