  • Diageo
    Global Head Of Beer Capability - Guinness
    Diageo Jul 2016 - 2017
    Ireland
    Diageo is committed to broadening its presence in beer and competing successfully in different markets and different sub-categories. To do this Guinness is committed to moving from a “Beer Made of More” to a “Brewer Made of More” creating sustainable behaviour change in the on trade – with customers, with bar staff and with our consumers. This change starts with the capability of our staff to understand the Beer category from crops in the field to commercials in the bar. I lead this agenda for Diageo Globally.
  • Diageo Europe
    European Category Development
    Diageo Europe Nov 2014 - Jun 2016
    Dublin
    I thoroughly enjoyed working across 15 different European markets, driving the real motivation behind Category Development - giving customers a reason to buy Diageo's products other than price. Analysing how shoppers shop and helping them to find solutions to better enjoy our categories and products gave me a deep satisfaction. Fundamental to my success in this role was a curiosity as to how people shop (On & Off Trade) and at a very practical level how can we influence their behaviour.
