One of South Africa's most interesting businesses is one you've probably never heard of unless you work with major retailers. Jan Parmentier, founder of Supernova Brands, has built an impressive company that brings global brands such as The Walt Disney Company, STARLINK and Google products to South African retailers. The video below tells the story behind that journey. It's one I found particularly relatable as someone building a business myself and living this life daily. Jan shares valuable insights into scaling a company, navigating increasing operational complexity, structuring a business for growth, managing manufacturing and supply chain risks, building relationships with global brands, and what it really takes to grow a distribution business. It is a real honest interview! If you're a business owner or entrepreneur, this is well worth watching. Many of the challenges and lessons he discusses will feel very familiar.
