I am a passionate, constantly curious senior leader with a 20-plus track record of success in building brands, achieving business results, and team leadership across the entire commercial spectrum. I have consistently grown through experiences across a diverse range of businesses with agility, creativity, collaboration, and constant learning.I strongly believe in the power of brands to achieve greater purpose for people, our planet, and how we do business.I have had a unique corporate career with roles across a wide variety of markets, brands, categories, and consumers. My current career interests have been most clearly shaped by three of my most recent experiences, which were transformative in their own ways, but were consistent in the opportunity to learn deeply about consumers, the people around me, the businesses, and myself. Importantly, each was focused on emerging, more entrepreneurial aspects of the company, which enabled development of unique skills. • As the marketing innovation leader for the Next Generational Natural Foods Growth Platform, I developed a passion and appreciation for progressive nutrition and sustainability while embedded in a senior cross-functional team, bringing insights to ideas through the lens of the holistic consumer, and delivering new tools for rapid learning and speed to market.• Leading brand and innovation marketing for the frozen veggie business was an opportunity to develop and execute the strategic vision for a rapidly-changing business within the plant-based protein market. Over three years, our successful venture reset every aspect of the go-to-market execution of the business including the what – product and package, the how – digitally-led, data-focused, and new partner model, and the why – a clear brand purpose achieved through quantifiable sustainability impact.• As the marketing lead for a newly acquired Chinese business, I led a nimble, resource-constrained team through a high degree of ambiguity, uncertainty, and change to forge the future for a new business in a new market. These experiences have shown me that I thrive when challenged with difficult business situations, requiring new ways of thinking and acting, often with significant resource constraint and rarely following the status quo.I get my energy, and humility, through the support of my crew, my wife, and two daughters. We are all lovers of the outdoors, live music, eating amazing food, and traveling near and far.
