Reporting directly to the EMEA & ROW GM, you’ll lead, strategise, and execute our sales approach across multi-channel markets. Your main objective will be to accelerate revenue growth, build and nurture relationships with key partners (distributors, retailers, e-commerce), and achieve outstanding commercial results.
In this role, you’ll identify white-space opportunities within the EMEA & ROW region, establish sustainable and profitable routes to market, and strengthen relationships with key accounts, all while implementing strategies to drive product adoption.
