@mahammadaliyev
I turn consumer insights, pricing, and portfolios into measurable commercial growth.
What I'm looking for
I've led consumer and market research at Azersun Holding, turning insights across food and non-food portfolios into pricing, innovation, portfolio, and go-to-market decisions. A conjoint-based pricing study delivered a 25% profit increase for a major FMCG brand.
At Veyseloglu, I managed an FMCG category portfolio exceeding AZN 100 million in annual turnover across 10 local and international brands. Through portfolio development, pricing, promotions, and business development, I delivered approximately 40% sales growth.
I've also expanded international commercial operations across 15 European and CIS markets, led supplier negotiations, and coordinated trade and investment initiatives with public and private stakeholders. I combine market intelligence with practical execution to build sustainable growth opportunities.
