About Marc Grannum

My global CPG industry career intersects sales and trade marketing—with both a commercial and strategic focus—across multiple channels: Club, Grocery, Dollar, Specialty, Mass, Hardware, Professional (B2B) and Military. In the OTC Health, Food, Infant Nutrition and Home Hygiene space, I’ve steered performance and relationship turnarounds, revitalized stagnant channels, and accelerated growth, while optimizing trade investments across the portfolio. Through the nurturing of strong teams, cross-functional partnerships and customer relationships, I’ve consistently built successful businesses and drove significant transformation to achieve and exceed aggressive financial targets.Having progressed up the sales and trade marketing ranks in the United States and South Africa, I have a broad view of the global CPG industry landscape and deep command of business fundamentals along with the levers that activate sales, profitability and share growth. I’m extremely passionate about the business and I lead with a strong people focus, serving as a motivating force for my team, providing the insight, guidance and support to thrive. Throughout my career, I’ve earned recognition for my ability to:• Crystallize strategic vision, bridge cross-functional teams with a shared agenda and objectives, and drive excellence in execution to deliver on business commitments. • Foster a team-based, customer-centric culture with a high degree of empowerment, ownership and accountability.• Deepen mutually profitable partnerships with customers through the development of joint business plans, alignment of objectives, effective commercial negotiations and trade spend efficiencies. • Build collaborative stakeholder relationships and communicate effectively to influence decision making—and action—in complex, matrix environments.• Quickly assess and seize opportunities for growth and improvement, institute best-in-class business management practices and spark innovative solutions—across channels and categories—to grow the business and create customer value.
