Mark Gillespie Email and Phone Number
I love helping people and businesses grow. That's helped drive my success as a consumer insights executive, client partner, and global people leader. The moments I enjoy most are when I’m thrusted into complex situations and need to solve problems with data-based analysis, and then clearly, succinctly, and persuasively communicate recommended actions to key stakeholders.I believe people are the key to business success. Through active listening and resolute candidness, I build strong, trusting relationships with clients, stakeholders, and my teams. I relish the process of cultivating a collaborative, accountable, high-functioning culture.I’m passionate about driving growth through innovation and renovation of brands, with a deep focus on the consumer packaged goods (CPG) sector. Over my 25+ year career, I've consulted with C-suite at Fortune 500 companies and developed a unique mix of quantitative and qualitative analytical skills which help me uncover a deep understanding of consumers and market trends.Global Leadership | Data Analytics | Strategy | Value Based Selling | Negotiation | Ideation and Innovation | Brand Development | Consumer Insights | Client Relationship Management | Agile | Change Management | Product Development | Matrix Influencing | Virtual Team Building | People Development | Coaching and Mentoring
