"Tim was client manager who scoped and ran two projects to launch ventures for Pepsico in Kenya and Nigeria. These both developed into viable enterprises involving securing production, distribution, sales and financing for the ventures, involving a direct team of c.50. It involved developing commercial collaboration strategies; cultivating and maintain strong relationships with prospective partners; recommending and enacting corrections to give detailed visibility in all in-market activity; co-ordinating with internal and external stakeholders to ensure highest return on investment."
