Data-Driven Decision Making : Leverage sales data, KPIs, and performance metrics to evaluate account progress and forecast future growth. Regularly report on account performance to internal and external stakeholders.

Category & Channel Management : Apply category management principles to optimize account performance, aligning product offerings with consumer trends while ensuring profitability.

Brand Activation : Lead the planning and execution of consumer touchpoints and marketing campaigns (ATL, POS, ROI, sponsorships, events) to enhance brand visibility and consumer engagement.
