- Stakeholder management and business acumen.
- Entrepreneurial business development. Capability to build businesses with more speed and lower costs, end-to-end.

You are comfortable leading in the unknown, challenging the status quo with curiosity and an entrepreneurial spirit, while staying grounded in our business realities. You build business end-to-end with speed and cost consciousness, always keeping the many people in mind. With a holistic perspective, you see the whole food system and connect the dots across purchasing, development and markets to create better, more sustainable outcomes, quicker.
