I am passionate about growing businesses by deeply understanding consumers and customers. I thrive on leaving legacies in companies to do better marketing and transforming capabilities through game changing strategies that bring best ROI. I have a consistent track record with P&G Latin America for 25+ years, and more recent local and international experience on diverse industries as an advisor and Independent Board Member.

I have thrived as a senior executive leading enterprises from $50M to $3B to step-changed gains in P&Ls and their sustainable underpinnings. Not one for status quo, my experiences span diverse contexts including turnarounds, international expansion, and M&A transitions. Rooted in customers (B2B) / end users (B2C) and the stakeholders who influence them, I love blending transformative thinking with pragmatic resourcefulness to help organizations renew for next-level growth.

I am a consumer / customer focused Brand Strategist with more than 30 years of marketing experience in various categories and regions around the globe. My core belief is that businesses will be more successful if their services or products genuinely improve lives. I have deep expertise in identifying and profiling target customer needs as the basis for powerful business and marketing strategies and executions.

I love to partner with brands to design a clear strategy that step-changes results. For nearly 20 years, I have built brands and organizations while delivering the P&L. In addition to managing several $1 billion brand portfolios at P&G, I have worked with mid-size and digitally-driven startup companies on strategy, branding, and capability-building. I also enjoy training and coaching employees so they learn techniques to leave a legacy on their business.

I’m a decisive, results oriented, dynamic sales and shopper marketing leader with a proven track record for driving strong top and bottom line results across a broad set of challenging roles. I’m an innovative thinker who finds unique opportunities to build Brands and grow revenue. My work included pioneering use of Shopper Understanding to create powerful value propositions with retail partners.

I am a hands-on builder of businesses, brands, and new products. My 25-year P&G track record includes breakthrough business growth and innovation in a wide range of markets, categories, and business situations, most recently as Vice President / General Manager for the company-wide $3B+ New Business Creation portfolio.  I have deep experience with growth strategies, opportunity identification and assessment, brand architectures, and innovation programs.

I am passionate about helping clients solve vexing challenges through human-centered solutions that deliver results. As a practitioner in business for 20+ years, my approach is grounded in deep understanding of business discipline, aided by the imagination of future possibilities that can be inspired by empathy and framing.

I thrive on game-changing opportunities. My 30+ year career has been fueled by acute foresight enabling me to spot game-changing opportunities — and build programs to commercialize them. I bring dot-connecting and scenario creation skills that drive product and commercial innovation. I combine Consumer & Market Knowledge (VP P&G) with technical knowhow (ChemE training) to grow Brands.

I am passionate about delighting consumers. My 32 years in Insights and Marketing (including Insights VP at P&G) has included helping over 80 brands discover how to improve their consumers’ lives in a way that enables a deep, long-term connection with them. Understanding what consumers want, and then giving it to them, is a key enabler to our clients’ business growth.

Simply put, I am passionate about solving wicked Brand Strategy problems. My past decade of working with and finding solutions for Senior Marketing Leaders across 30 industries, plus my 23 years at P&G (culminating in GM Global Marketing Knowledge & Innovation), provides a powerful foundation to help clients get closer to their goals while helping them shine.
