I lead Finance for the International segment at General Mills, focusing on one outcome: sustainable, profitable growth. Over the past 20+ years, I have led finance across complex, multi-country businesses spanning Europe, Australia, Latin America, and Asia. My experience covers commercial, supply chain, and manufacturing environments, providing a full view of performance drivers across the value chain. I support a diverse portfolio of global and local brands, including Häagen-Dazs, Old El Paso, Nature Valley, and key regional brands, each with distinct growth dynamics and routes to market. I specialize in navigating this complexity and turning it into focused execution, stronger performance, and sustainable competitive advantage.
