• Connect the dots internally – bringing Sales, Product, Finance and Leadership together to turn licensing opportunities into commercially viable plans.
• Bring market insight – using customer, retailer and consumer insight to identify where the next opportunity lies.

• Build strong, credible relationships and influence people at all levels.
• Spot a commercial opportunity and have the drive to turn it into action.
• Negotiate confidently and understand the commercial and contractual detail behind a deal.
