“I had the pleasure of managing Phil at ConAgra. Phil has the unique ability to collaborate with customers, understand their strategy, and influence key decision makers to drive strong, profitable, sales and share growth. Leveraging his strong analytical skills, Phil quickly identified emerging shopper trends and developed a comprehensive targeted promotional and merchandising strategy based on syndicated and customer loyalty card data which led to best in class promotional effectiveness. Phil’s ability to understand shopper behavior, consumer preferences, and to collaboratively create/implement outstanding category growth resulted in moving him into an internal strategic Brand role focusing on Channel Strategy. Phil continued his success in the internal role and was promoted to Director, Category Strategy for Private Brands. Phil created, led, and implemented an assortment, pricing, and promotional optimization category strategy to drive both national and private label branded sales and profits. Leveraging multiple data sources, Phil brought new insights to the sales team and our retailers. Phil’s strength is his ability to understand growth drivers and inhibitors, quickly develop credibility and trust with customers, and influence key decision makers. He’s an outstanding leader, committed to delivering best in class, sustainable, profitable sales and share growth. He’s a valuable mentor and coach for cross-functional teams, and strives for continuous improvement. Phil is definitely a value added resource, and I’m grateful I had the opportunity to have him on my team and peer as he always brought insights and recommendations for driving sales! ”
