Effective businesses create long-term value by skillfully combining corporate vision, employee success, customer needs, and market opportunity – and then applying continuous improvement in every stage of growth.That’s what I focused on as I collaborated with cross-functional teams to expand North America’s most iconic beverage brands and private labels as a CPG executive, and is now equally applicable as I consult start-up owners on their business development plans.For over 25 years as a CEO, COO, EVP, and GM, I worked to optimize operational performance and consistently surpass sales targets at companies like Pepsi-Cola, Cott, and Ice River Springs Water. I made customer satisfaction a priority while identifying new opportunities and building client acquisition strategies. I have been able to:- Expand operations and multiply revenue.- Streamline processes and improve productivity. - Build partnerships and inspire teams.As a leader, I foster a collaborative, high-performance environment based on respect and accountability. I establish an open-door policy and encourage creativity, innovation, and resourcefulness.My expertise include: Strategic Thinking, Relationship Building, Client Management, Team & Project Management, Marketing, Strategic Sales Planning, P&L Management, Negotiation & Communication, Recruiting, Training & Mentoring, Entrepreneurship, B2B & B2C Sales, Product Knowledge, Lead Generation & Prospecting, Market Research & Data Analysis, Budgeting & Forecasting, and Brand Awareness and Development.
