Glanbia is one of the world’s largest Global Nutrition companies, employing over 6,000 employees and operating in over 32 countries around the world. Glanbia Performance Nutrition is a division of Glanbia with more than €3 billion in revenues and 5,202 employees worldwide.My initial scope was to fully evaluate Glanbia Performance Nutrition's route to market in both Australia and New Zealand and provide recommendations to the board to unlock opportunities in the Value Chain to effectively structure and position the capabilities of the ANZ markets to deliver the strategic objectives of an aggressive Global market leader.This resulted in project managing the successful acquisition of the existing in market distributor to enable the business to service over 1200 customers directly, whilst developing internal material flows and integrating operating platforms (Glanbia's Global SAP solution). A Global first for the Glanbia group.Since acquisition, further value has been delivered by integrating and recruiting all support services into the Corporate Head Office and outsourcing the fulfillment tasks.I am responsible for the E2E Supply Chain for both the Australian & New Zealand markets, whilst providing close guidance to our regional, Asia Pacific, developing markets.
