After five years, around 100 episodes and countless great moments as your host, Audrey Dauvet is stepping away from the microphone to embark on a new journey. Brand & New will continue to flourish, to explore the new and emerging topics around innovation, intellectual property (IP), and beyond. A new tremendously talented team led by INTA will be the new voice, curating experiences and stories that will resonate with listeners. Their passion and dedication to fostering a connected listener community mirrors the essence that Brand & New has always strived for.

For this episode, who could be a better guest than INTA CEO Etienne Sanz de Acedo, who has supported this podcast from day one. Mr. Sanz de Acedo has been deeply involved in the world of IP throughout his career, advocating for the protection and development of trademarks on a global scale. Under his leadership since 2013, INTA has worked toward enhancing consumer trust, economic growth, and innovation across international borders. He’s been an influential figure, steering INTA towards impactful advocacy, educational initiatives, and member services worldwide. Prior to leading INTA, Mr. Sanz de Acedo had a rich history of more than 15 years working within the European Union IP Office and in private practice. His strategic acumen and forward-thinking approach have been pivotal in navigating through multifaceted challenges and opportunities raised by the digital age and globalization.
