General Manager

Senior management to executive

Owns the full P&L and strategy of a cluster, region or large subsidiary: translates group strategy into regional plans, allocates resources across countries and categories, selects and leads the leadership team, and represents the business to head office and to external stakeholders. Success is judged on delivering the numbers (growth, margin, cash) across cycles, on the strength of the team and succession bench built, on strategy executed with discipline in a matrix, and on the trust of head office and the board.
