Senior advisor - FMCG & consumer healthcare at B&D consulting, B&D consulting, United Arab Emirates

>>> Shaping the path into the future >>> The difference between a good business and a truly great one is rooted in its strategy! And whether it gets implemented! Serving as 'Deal advisor', I provide an independent expert blunt view on M&A deals to the top tier consulting firms ('Bain', 'BCG') and Private Equity funds('Cinven',’Partnersgroup', 'Triton'). As 'Strategy advisor' to Boards and MNCs, I help them steer through the process of crafting and implementing successful strategies. As ‘Executive mentor’, I am a trusted sounding board to guide executives to navigate the complexities of international career and leadership. I am a dynamic authentic leader with 26 years experience in Europe and Developing Markets on more than 100 categories in FMCG and consumer healthcare. Within MNCs, at 'Reckitt', I have occupied for 20 years various C+ level positions, in senior #generalmanagement #globalstrategy #M&A #integration #operatingmodel #businessmodel #transformation #strategicplanning, #internationalexpansion #globalcommittees #globalboards #nonexecutivedirector #internationalmarketing #commercial Contributing to build the most trusted brands (‘Dettol', 'Durex', 'Vanish', 'Finish', 'Nurofen', 'AirWick', 'Harpic', 'Calgon', 'Veet', 'Scroll', 'Nurofen', 'Strepsils', 'Lysol', 'Airborn', 'Mortein'). I have shaped strategies and executed plans in 60+ countries. The planet is my world! I had the chance to live in 8 countries, as different as France, Italy, UK, Japan, India, Singapore, Vietnam, UAE. Having studied 'digital strategies for business', 'digital transformation leadership' and the 'lean startup model' at 'Columbia Business School', and being eager to learn about new businesses, I also enjoy giving back, helping accelerators' startups with my strategic, scaling, and mentoring guidance. If I had to name two strengths, it would be my natural leadership and sharp strategist skills: * I enjoy being the captain: I steer, hold the cap, take decisions, challenge 'the status quo', nurture the crew, give them a hand when needed, and with contagious energy! * I swiftly make sense of the complex, shape different strategic options, and turn them into real tangible actions and results! Throughout my entire career, I have been a strong advocate of empowering new ideas and mentoring teams to deliver challenging results through high accountability and ownership. I enjoy spending time with my family and three daughters. There is not a day without sport. I would welcome starting a discussion with you. You can reach me at 'bertranddelagneau@bndconsulting.me'.
