I have a passion for growing brands and building highly-motivated teams. I help small to mid-size company CEOs and founder/owners create and implement next stage growth plans for their B2C (CPG, F&B, Retail, Home, Health & Beauty) and B2B businesses. I've had the opportunity to build & lead some of the world's favorite consumer brands for leading Fortune 100 companies across global channels and multiple countries and now I like to share that experience to help companies move faster. My sweet spots are leading teams in consumer brand & channel strategy, creating innovative and scrappy marketing & sales plans and building successful product pipelines. >>>>Learn how my colleagues and I can help you energize your team and ignite growth at rdepencier@chiefoutsiders.com< Specialties: Brand & General Management, P&L, Strategic Planning, Leadership, Marketing, Go-To-Market Plans, Product Development, Retail & E-Commerce, Innovation, Marketing Automation, Sales & Marketing Collaboration, Results.
