I am a strategic, analytical marketing and operating executive whose core talent is figuring out what makes things good, and taking it to great. My approach aims to pinpoint a company’s or brand’s most impactful value proposition, and thoughtfully amplify it through growth initiatives like new product innovation, distribution expansion, and motivating consumer engagement. With people, it means deciphering individuals’ greatest talents and passions, and harnessing them as components of a collaborative team to drive outsized results.My experience spans a range of operating environments, categories (mostly consumer), channels, and functions. I have worked in public and private companies, from Fortune 500 multinational to start-up ($25-100MM revenue), in categories ranging from oral & personal care, to natural products, to vitamins & dietary supplements. My work has focused on building growth initiatives in channels from conventional (Food/Drug/Mass/Club/Dollar), to Health & Specialty and e-commerce. A common thread across these diverse experiences is a focus on understanding consumer needs and wants, and delivering solutions to meet them.As a classically-trained brand manager, my functional foundation is consumer marketing. In recent years, I have augmented deep marketing experience with hands-on roles or extensive engagement in customer development, supply chain, and finance. This functional breadth has helped shape me into a P&L-oriented general manager.I’m passionate about helping build businesses that authentically seek to balance profitable growth with a broader positive contribution to consumers’ lives and society, and helping develop aspiring leaders to maximize their professional potential.In my free time, I am an engaged dad, avid runner, sporadic triathlete, and suffering Cleveland sports fan.You can reach me at pbright4217@gmail.com
