New Diageo chief executive Ivan Menezes might have been expected to bring some big ideas to the table when he took over from Paul Walsh at the helm of the world’s biggest drinks company one month ago. Presenting his first results to the City on Wednesday, Mr Menezes said he wants to make his mark at Diageo by “making this big company act small” and ensuring it remains “entrepreneurial” in responding to fast-changing trends in its 180 markets.
