Head of Range

Powerhouse 91
01.2023 - Current

As the steward of our brand portfolio, I played a pivotal role in shaping the identities of Azah (Women Hygiene), Slovic (Sports & Fitness), and Expertomind (Elderly Care). This involved crafting unique graphic styles and tones to effectively convey our brand messages.

I led the strategic planning, execution, and monitoring of sales and marketing initiatives to elevate brand visibility and drive product adoption. Crafting nuanced pricing strategies tailored to each brand's market positioning was integral to optimizing revenue streams.

Through targeted marketing campaigns and strategic networking efforts, I orchestrated impactful brand image enhancements and expanded our outreach. My oversight of monthly product planning and demand management ensured consistent product availability to meet consumer needs.

Under my leadership, our brand portfolio experienced a notable 10% increase in gross margin and a 7% rise in EBITA, all while reducing days of cover by 50%. Additionally, I orchestrated a remarkable 5X revenue surge within a year through innovative strategies, driving cross-functional initiatives that yielded substantial growth across the board.
