Dont be afraid to ask questions, its such a big (but exciting) move when looking to join a new company. We all use different terminology, and interpretations. Take the opportunity to ask as many questions to clarify your understanding of the role, what you need to deliver, but what will it also deliver for you! An employee that enjoys and feels satisfied that they are growing in the role, will be a happily and more productive individual. There is always someone available to answer questions, don't be afraid to ask!

What do you like about your job and the company?

As part of the Group Commercial Development team, we're all about digging into a variety of metrics that matter—uncovering the "so what?" behind the numbers to understand how they impact our categories, customers, and consumers across both our European and APS markets. Our insights play a key role in helping the Leadership Team shape future strategies and identify immediate opportunities or risks—making the work both impactful and genuinely exciting to be a part of! Leading projects with a wide range of stakeholders—from colleagues across different markets and departments to teams at The Coca-Cola Company and Monster Energy—gives us the chance to bring together diverse perspectives and expertise, making collaboration both dynamic and rewarding.

Greatest achievements

Whilst on secondment with The Coca-Cola company I was responsible for leading the commercial strategies and annual plans for Away from Home customers. Massive piece of work, but honoured to be asked to lead it and loved the challenge! Second one would be retaining the Nando's business in GB, whilst driving additional profit and delivering a 5 year joint category plan with them. Whilst also supporting my team with key global impacted negotiations.

Top Insider Advice

Don't be afraid to reach out to people and ask silly questions or want to know more about their role etc. People are always willing to help and therefore don't be shy to ask for it. Having a strong network will not only help in terms of understanding the wider business and can provide you with people to rely on when you need support; but it will also open up new opportunities that may not have been possible. Also be clear on what kind of roles you enjoy (make take time to figure out) - but understand what gets you out of bed in the morning and then look for roles that have these aspects as part of them. And definitely don't expect to have a lot of the requirements on job descriptions - do not let this put you off applying. After all, if you had all the list, arguably you shouldn't be applying! The point is to show your transferable skills to the role and willingness to learn, and you should then have opportunities in the role to develop particular skills.

My career journey showed you don't always need the experiences - and i believe more should be done to hire on potential.

Lots of opportunities will present to work with different people or to volunteer to get involved in different areas of the business. Always volunteer to do something new - it’s great to have variety but it also gives great insight into how you could do your own job even better.
