Nikhil Shah
@nikhilshah
I build brands, categories, and ventures that deliver revenue growth and market leadership.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Diageo, I led the $100M+ Ready-to-Drink portfolio, built its first RTD incubator, and delivered $50M+ incremental revenue in FY25. I launched four brands in one year, including The Cocktail Collection and Captain Morgan Sliced, while building two cross-functional organizations of 55+ people.
Previously, I turned around Guinness, Smirnoff, and P&G personal cleansing businesses—helping Guinness become YouGov's #1 most popular beer in America, reversing Smirnoff's decline to +7% growth, and moving Olay from the #9 to #1 body wash SKU in the U.S. I build organizations around real ownership and direct that energy toward hard commercial, brand, and innovation problems.
