As Global President of Mars Snacking, I oversee the world’s most iconic portfolio of snack brands. We produce globally beloved brands such as M&M’S, SNICKERS, KIND and EXTRA, and now, storied brands from Kellanova including Pringles, Cheez-It, and Pop-Tarts. From Shanghai to São Paulo, our products play a meaningful role in the lives of people around the world. It's a privilege to work alongside over 50,000 Associates around the world to bring them to market and inspire moments of everyday happiness for our consumers. I believe that business can, and should, drive positive change and I’m clear that what we do is only as good as how we do it. Which is why, at Mars Snacking, we're committed to protecting the planet we depend on, value giving back to our communities, and believe in investing in pioneering innovation and strategic partnerships to deliver a more dynamic snacking category of the future. This ethos is guided by Mars’ Five Principles — Quality, Responsibility, Mutuality, Efficiency and Freedom— which form the bedrock of my approach to leadership and the foundation of how we do business every day. I’ve been fortunate to be part of Mars, a family-owned company, for over two decades. I’ve held roles all around the world, including in Europe and Latin America, and am committed to fostering an environment where people feel valued, respected and able to reach their full potential. Chicago is home where I live with my wife and three kids; Liverpool Football Club is my favorite team, and I’ve never said no to a game of cricket!
