About Jay Weidman

I am a dynamic, skilled, and passionate leader with extensive experience in leading and mobilizing teams, sales and execution success, and marketing implementation with one of the largest and most profitable Consumer Packaged Goods Companies in the United States. I have led a multi-level, multi-geographic team of over 130 sales professionals, responsible for some of the most recognized and valuable brands such as Marlboro, including other Portfolio brands, and Next Generation products. I have a successful track record at building and developing high performing sales teams that exceed objectives, delivering top business performance, and analyzing the business to provide clear strategic direction to maximize sustainable results. I have an extensive background in strategic implementation with planning and execution, brand building, team building, training programs, and talent planning. I have developed go-to-market plans, led organizational design work streams, and effectively managed operating budgets. I enjoy watching plans come to life that provide success to family, employees, and customers. I enjoy being able to mentor others so that they can grow. I love watching my children grow as young adults and compete in sports. Activity and exercise are an important part of my routine. I like to learn and influence others. My strengths include collaborative leadership, relationship building, problem solving, business analysis, training and development, communication, establishing accountabilities, and key account alignment.
