Join us, as we dig into how Mondelez uses AI to create new flavors for our favorite snacks (and get them on shelves 5 times faster). 

In this episode, we’re joined by Norberto Chaclin, SVP of R&D at Mondelēz International (the company behind Oreo, Cadbury, and other fan favorites), to explore how AI is revolutionizing the food and beverage industry.
