ABOUT ALBERTO CORNEJO

I’ve spent over 20 years helping consumer goods brands grow across Latin America and Canada, leading both branded and private-label businesses. Along the way, I’ve learned that the biggest impact comes from connecting strategy to real-world execution understanding what customers, distributors, and retailers truly need, and turning insights into clear, actionable plans.Over the last six years, I’ve led cross-functional teams of 200+ people across 17 food categories and 6+ countries, delivering double-digit growth, expanding market share, and strengthening partnerships with top retailers including Walmart, Costco, Loblaws, and Amazon. Highlights include driving +34% of growth through innovation at Maple Leaf, leading category turnarounds like Half Hams at +63% vs. last year and achieving +85% of annual plan targets across Latin America.Beyond team leadership, I advise leaders and organizations on strategy and growth, helping them translate complex market dynamics into practical, market-grounded solutions. My approach combines commercial insight, category strategy, and operational rigor to ensure that strategic decisions translate into measurable results.I thrive at the intersection of strategy, insight, and execution whether it’s guiding board-level decisions, coaching teams to higher performance, or seeing a category turnaround in market. I’m passionate about brand growth, innovation, and helping organizations make decisions that stick.
