I led the sales, marketing, account management, operations, supply chain, distribution, and innovation of 10 beverage category segments, securing business growth and improvements in volume, profit, quality, service, and customer satisfaction.I have a strong background in sales and operations management, with over ten years of experience in the Global McDonalds Division at Coca-Cola. My core competencies include strategic thinking, supply chain operations, continuous improvement, and innovation. I have successfully introduced and marketed new products, such as Coke Zero, Frozen Coke, Lemonade, and Minute Maid Slushies, and managed the installation and maintenance of new beverage equipment, ensuring the highest standards of quality and performance. My mission is to create value for companies and customers by aligning our talents and efforts with our shared vision and goals. I operate with a general manager mindset, ensuring the customer is satisfied with the products, services, thought leadership, and program execution. I challenge conventional thinking when needed, and I work to remove barriers to execution and mindset. I am also one of the most collaborative business partners, with the ability to paint outside the lines and leverage the strengths of my team and organization.
