Bio from Speaker:

Since 2017 I have been an FMCG and Private Label business consultant, helping suppliers and buyers do better business through my unique retail insights, negotiation skills training and strategy development. I have over 20 years’ experience in the Irish and UK supermarket trade with a love of fresh foods especially. After category buying roles in Dunnes Stores, Superquinn and SPAR I held a number of senior roles. From 2006, I was Buying Director and Marketing Director at Aldi Ireland helping to grow market share from <2% to >10%. From 2014 to 2016 I was the Fresh Foods Commercial Category Director at Tesco Ireland, successfully turning around the business decline through a volume led, private label strategy. My analytical nature and early roles as a food technologist in M&S and Dunnes helped me to understand food production and the value chain. It was an excellent foundation for a career in supermarket buying and marketing.
