Eric Schwartz

I have led large consumer product portfolios at Clorox, Tyson, Hillshire, Henkel, including P&Ls of up to $3 billion and direct teams of hundreds. Formative experiences in small non-profit and PE-backed organizations crafted me as a scrappy leader who also has a decade of academy CPG training. Since 2011 as a GM across 3 companies, I have been blending these two backgrounds to make my organizations leaner, more accountable, and more disruptive, with transformative results and great career momentum. Three key areas I focus on to expand EBITDA are: • launching profitable new consumer offers • coaching teams to make core product portfolios more indispensable • eliminating cost disadvantages Specialties: FMCG | CPG | brand | growth | business building | P&L | innovation | marketing | consumer insights | retail category growth | stage gate | reinvention | transformation | brand equity portfolio | pricing | brand architecture | fresh | perishables | product management | demand planning | strategic planning | food service | household products| food | nutrition | natural | organic | sustainability | global strategy development | competitive war gaming | tactical execution | agile | digital | advertising |media efficiency | positioning | licensing | partnerships | ecosystem | M&A | integration | cost optimization | reorganization | career development | recruiting | team building | organizational design | succession planning
