As Channel & Category Development Manager at Unilever Switzerland, I held a dynamic role overseeing multiple brands of increasing responsibility. Beginning with the Tea brands Lipton & Pure Leaf, I managed strategic and operational marketing efforts, defining product ranges, identifying growth areas, and conducting pricing and profitability analyses. Transitioning to the ice cream sector, I continued this trajectory with the biggest brands Magnum and Cornetto, leading successful new product launches, crafting the annual Swiss marketing plan, and coordinating ATL activities in collaboration with the DACH Brand Building Team. Alongside this, I managed data analysis, presented insights to internal & external stakeholders, conducted budget planning and controlling, provided training for sales and field force teams, and supervised various interns and assistants. Alongside this, I was elected Chief Happiness Officer Switzerland within our Swiss organization. In this dual capacity, I had the honor of representing our country in a global committee, promoting internal and external strategic activities to enhance well-being and satisfaction.
