About Hannah Bates-Walsh

As a sales leader with success driving strategic business growth, I offer a track record of building, leading, and retaining high-performing teams focused on new business development, attentive account management, and customer retention. Throughout my career, I have launched the Omni Solutions growth strategy, including go-to-market and client renewals to enable customers to enhance market share by utilizing meaningful consumer insights and business intelligence. From thought leadership to cross-functional collaboration, I serve as the voice of the customers by providing key feedback to the product development, marketing, communication, and delivery teams to improve the end-to-end experience and accelerate value-added enhancements. I have mentored various employees at NielsenIQ, as well as building and retaining top talent with a focus on succession planning and have been recognized with a series of rapid promotions with increased accountability during my tenure. Previously, as the District Sales Supervisor at The Hershey Company, I was exposed to Nielsen data and learned firsthand the benefit of complex consumer insights and behaviors on merchandising, marketing, and sales strategies to optimize spend and deliver top-line revenue growth. Additionally, I have led an employee resource group focused upon driving inclusion for employees with hidden disabilities, as well as offering insights and support to caretakers supporting family members with disabilities, resulting in exponential growth of the ERG, while preserving the corporate culture. Furthermore, I have served on the NielsenIQ’s University Recruiting and Interviewing team to coach entry-level applicants through the candidate process. Please network with me to learn how I can lead your team to deliver impactful, scalable, and rapid growth in alignment with your business plan.
