Experience

Since setting up 12th Man in 2010, I have worked with a diverse portfolio of clients.

Extensive experience across multiple industries

I help clients navigate a variety of commercial landscapes across multiple industries (food, drink, consumer goods and manufacturing) on a UK and international basis. My work helps businesses create tangible and lasting change through consultancy, interim management and non-executive director support. I provide objectivity, leadership, evaluation, process-creation and optimisation, overhead optimisation, sales enhancement, negotiations consultancy and relationship strengthening/rebuilding advice.

Recent Interim assignments include:

  • Interim CEO (FMCG - Food & Drink)
  • Interim MD (FMCG - Food)
  • Interim Regional Director EMEA (B2B - Manufacturing)
  • Interim Commercial Strategy Director (B2B – Manufacturing)
  • Interim Commercial Director (FMCG - Consumer Goods)
  • Interim Sales Director (FMCG - Drinks)

Solutions to fit your business

I offer a range of tailored services for varying challenging business situations. You can read more about non-executive directorships, executive interim management, management consultancy and business coaching here on my site.

I enjoyed and benefited hugely from a highly progressive and successful corporate career spanning 15 years across multiple fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) categories before starting my consulting career in 2010.

Background

I started out on the bottom rung of the sales ladder at the largest wine company in the world, Ernest & Julio Gallo, being promoted quickly through the ranks to be the company’s youngest ever leader of their largest global customer.

FMCG Experience

From there I was headhunted back-to-back into a number of exciting companies to lead and develop key commercial relationships with UK and international supermarkets whilst developing up-coming talent in the FMCG market.

Roles that I performed during my permanent career include:

  • Sales Executive
  • Operations Manager
  • National Account Manager
  • Business Manager
  • Channel Controller
  • Sales Director
  • General Manager

I have always had a passion for doing business and developing people, which was core to my decision to set up my own consulting business, 12th Man, in 2010.
