About Allan Jackson

Data-driven sales strategies and transformation have been the hallmarks of my approach to fueling double and triple-digit growth and turnarounds. Across 20 years of success in multiple industries and channels, I have consistently fast-tracked top-line growth in companies, ranging from start-ups to public-traded and private equity-owned companies. Industries of expertise include consumer product goods (CPG), retail, e-commerce, grocery, and enterprise software. CAREER HIGHLIGHTS• Powered high 8-figure growth drove at SharkNinja in under a year, as the VP of Sales for Walmart business, and drove the brand to #1 in Total Floorcare.• Grew revenue 25% as the President at Centric Technology Solutions through a project turnaround and activated 20% revenue growth winning business with a 72-store Rent-A-Center chain.• Outpaced overall category growth at Bumble Bee Seafoods and steered record growth in the Mass, Dollar, Convenience, and E-commerce businesses. Transformed Bumble Bee Tuna from a regional brand to a national brand and widened the margin 70% over 4 years. HOW I MOVE THE NEEDLEI believe the foundation for positive change lies in C-suite partnership and customer collaboration on visionary strategies that create mutual benefit. Some of my key strengths are being able to quickly identify and seize growth opportunities, pinpoint and close gaps, and improve processes in sales operations.I also surround myself with teams of high-caliber leaders, influence alignment, and guide strategic execution. As a leader, I know that culture can make or break success. My focus has always been fostering organizations that value diversity, inclusion, and shared success, creating the foundation for inspiring and empowering excellence.
