ABOUT PHIL DE VOOGHT

As a transformational commercial leader, I take aim at driving both top-line and EBITDA growth by leveraging data and insights to identify strategic and executional priorities. I have excelled at accelerating growth in businesses by driving organizational effectiveness through people, processes, focus and alignment. I am able to quickly assess the needs of stakeholders, both external (customers, consumers) and internal (commercial teams), and drive performance excellence with speed and precision. As an agile, determined, and driven executive, I have been successful in growing businesses and teams in dynamic, Private Equity-sponsored organizations as well as complex corporate environments including Campbell’s, Kimberly Clark, SC Johnson and Maple Leaf Foods. I believe that organizations perform at their best, and can sustain growth, by being committed to values-driven behaviors, and institutionalizing those behaviors at every level within the organization. Additionally, and supporting values-based decision making, is the need to focus on well supported strategies that are executed flawlessly and with speed. I have been successful at adapting to diverse organizational characteristics and cultures and aligning organizational capabilities and points-of-difference with marketplace needs. My external focus has helped ensure commercial priorities are based on what customers and consumers want, therefore ensuring organizational priorities are relevant and can be monetized. I have been in a commercial leadership role for the past 30 years and have consistently left legacies that have included insatiable analytic curiosity, a stronger strategic mindset, habits that lead to executional excellence, and teams driven to accomplish.
