What I'm looking for

I'm looking to take on larger teams, broader markets, and more complex FMCG business challenges where my experience in sales, distribution, and channel strategy can add value.

At Unilever, I've spent 14+ years turning General Trade and channel sales strategy into field execution, leading territory teams of 10+ to 80+ people and distributor networks across 30+ towns.

I've managed P&L outcomes, trade plans, key customer and distributor relationships, and national Out-of-Home strategy from Unilever's Head Office. I'm continuing to take on broader markets, larger teams, and more complex business challenges.
