Kinship | Leonid Sudakov, President How do you enhance humanity through non-humans? My guest today can help with that question. I'm chatting with Leonid Sudakov, the President of Kinship. Kinship is a coalition of brands seeking to bring more to pet care. Specifically today we explore two pairs of words which have their nuances but within which Leonid sees a strong intersection as part of his work. The first, which titles this show, is humanity and care. Leonid has found that caring for pets enhances one's own humanity, and we delve into that today. The second is authenticity and meaning. Within that, we explore the intersection in name and then get specific about how certain initiatives within Kinship's four walls like supporting female founders and its broad coalition work) helps to flesh it out in real life. It turns out Leonid and I have a common connection here, who we chat about briefly. (That's Marc Atiyeh, the founder of Pawp, who has been supported through the Companion Fund which Leonid advises.) Of course we also cover advice on how to carve your own path to authenticity, through which Leonid shares a personal side to how he found his. Be sure to stay tuned until the end for that. Enjoy!

Kinship | Leonid Sudakov: The Intersection of Humanity and Care

"The Less-Is-More Leader". This podcast has listeners in 84 countries. Most of those are pretty open, democratic societies where freedom of thought and movement are both expectations and rights. Born and raised in Russia, Leonid Sudakov had neither in his formative years. His father was not allowed a passport until he was 50. Leonid didn’t meet a foreigner until he was 16, when he moved to Moscow carrying with him a bag of potatoes and his wits.  From these beginnings he has become an exceptionally creative and thoughtful leader, unlocking innovative and creative thinking at every stop, including 3 years as the global CMO for Mars Petcare, a $20 billion global business. We are all heavily influenced by our upbringing. Whether we use those experiences as catalysts or obstacles depends on how we see them.

109. Leonid Sudakov of Kinship & Mars on The Power of Constraints

“Diversity is messy: it is not easy or comfortable, because it’s built on difference. It’s built on accepting that your way is not the only way”. Leonid Sudakov, President of Kinship, a division of Mars, has long been a vocal advocate for the rich talent, creativity and innovative thinking created by diverse workplaces. So for this month’s podcast we talk to him about the challenge of rethinking your business model, how being a gay senior leader shaped his priorities and what the Soviet Union did for women in STEM.
