  • Lead negotiations with distributors, key accounts, and channel partners to maximize business opportunities.
  • Build and mentor regional sales teams, ensuring strong execution discipline and performance management.
  • Develop go-to-market (GTM) strategies for new product launches and market entry initiatives.
  • Ensure strong retail execution standards and improve brand visibility across trade channels.
  • Analyze competitor activities, consumer trends, and market dynamics to drive strategic decisions.
  • Maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders, distributors, and business partners across regions.

  • 15+ years of experience in sales leadership with strong exposure to General Trade (GT) and trade marketing.
  • Proven track record of driving large-scale sales growth and distribution expansion in international or emerging markets.
  • Strong understanding of GTM strategy, retail execution, distributor management, and channel development.

  • Strong leadership and team management capabilities with the ability to build high-performing sales organizations.
  • Excellent commercial acumen, negotiation skills, and market expansion expertise.
  • Ability to work in fast-paced, high-growth environments with strong ownership and execution focus.
