Donald Leo Email and Phone Number

I have spent my career in the flavor industry leading global business development for critical accounts and managing an ingredient portfolio of significant scale. As an account leader, I am highly accessible and responsive with a history of building credibility and positive relationships - and influencing without direct authority - to drive results. I have a belief in building coalitions among stakeholders to contribute to client strategy and achieve common goals while reaching back to my technical foundation to anticipate problems and recommend innovative solutions.During my time at Givaudan, I operated across multiple countries, providing a high level of thought leadership and customer collaboration in driving development for Fortune 100 companies. I am accustomed to working with executive leadership teams in diverse market economies, bringing structure to ambiguity, and establishing strategies with clear business deliverables.After retiring from Givaudan, my enthusiasm for the sales process and passion for innovation led me to consulting roles where I now provide direction on business building, sales structure, and vendor sourcing. In this new capacity, I leverage deep industry expertise, a strong global perspective, and a well-established network of resources and contacts to help clients to capture new business, navigate the competitive landscape, manage complex accounts, and enter new markets.- 10 years of bench top analytical chemistry, beverage product development and ingredient technology at
