You’re a commercially savvy, ambitious self-starter who thrives in high-growth environments and isn’t afraid to roll up your sleeves. With a solid background in the beverages or CPG space—including 3+ years managing grocery and retail chain accounts, you’ve delivered sales growth, led high-value accounts, and know how to turn relationships into sustainable results.
