Building effective teams in cross-cultural environments is a strength: the 31 market personal care business that I was responsible for while in India with Unilever doubled to £400m largely because of trust and business synergies built.In the UK, I have achieved a number of business turnarounds in OTC and FMCG categories working with key customers like Boots, Tesco and Asda.
