I am an entrepreneurial global leader who leads businesses and teams to consistently outperform the competition. I push beyond the base business and innovate to deepen interactions with current customers and to expand the business. I’m known for my agility in driving results in different geographies, cultures, and industries -- from building and running the Haagen-Dazs café/retail business across Asia...to growing Honey Nut Cheerios to be the highest consumed cereal in the U.S....to the successful launch of Nature Valley granola bars across Latin America... to operating one of the world’s largest avocado companies.I excel at quickly assessing a business and taking action on the key levers that drive customer satisfaction and revenue. Known for delivering my KPI’s while balancing growth with risk, I generate inventive solutions to business challenges and capitalize on opportunities. As a leader, I create an energizing sense of direction, communicate priorities, and motivate my teams to deliver. My approach is to ensure rapid progress by encouraging a growth mindset. Recognized for collaborating effectively across boundaries, I persuade and influence others in an open and transparent manner without direct reliance on authority.
