As a Global Business Director and Sector Management leader, I have over 25 years experience specializing in building transparent, transformational, and engaging partnerships with some of the world’s largest brands, while focusing on the benefit of outsourced resources, optimizing creative output, and maximizing marketing supply chain productivity. On the surface, I am a customer-obsessed Sales and Supply Chain Operations leader with extensive expertise in overall account management and operational excellence, including strategic account planning, client engagement, relationship management, and P&L ownership; but underneath it all I am a passionate, award winning Display and Packaging leader adept at solution-based selling, retail activation, innovative merchandising design, contract negotiation, vendor and retail partnership management. I have been particularly effective in putting the customer first and generating thought leadership, while still increasing profitability, growing sales and managing costs. My team's consistently deliver incremental revenue and are the catalyst for operational efficiencies. I have a proven ability to lead high performing cross-functional teams across retail, consumer, food, beverage, and healthcare sector brand marketing, sales, and supply chain functions. I am skilled in fostering a winning culture steeped in professional development and engagement of team members, and I believe the process is just as important as achieving the end result.
