I have also leveraged my expertise in strategy, brand management, sales and marketing, and P&L management to create and execute effective commercial plans, launch new products and brands, and optimize operational efficiency and profitability. Some of my notable roles include leading the: 1) DACH business unit for Haleon through a business turn around and the separation from GSK; 2) transformation of GSK Consumer Healthcare in Latin America to deliver market share gains, revenue growth, and margin improvement; and 3) GSK's Wellness and Respiratory categories (e.g. Centrum, Theraflu, and Otrivin); and North American Marketing Head for Novartis OTC.
Listed skills include Strategy, Cross Functional Team Leadership, P&L Management, Product Development, and 11 others.
