VP Global Key City Activation @ Nike Quite an honour to work with our teams in Barcelona, Milan, Berlin, Paris, London, Seoul, Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, Mexico City, Los Angeles and New York. Could not think of a better last job to have. Maybe if they had added Edinburgh and Glasgow it would have been perfect. From June 2018 to September 2019 (1 year 4 months) Portland, Oregon AreaVP Young Athletes @ Nike Western Europe A short assignment with a great team. Lived in Paris. Commuted to Amsterdam. As you do. From October 2012 to July 2013 (10 months) Hilversum, NetherlandsMarketing Director @ Mars Japan Shinjirarenai. My final role in Mars was Marketing Director responsible for all our brands in Japan. From June 2005 to June 2006 (1 year 1 month) Tokyo, JapanDog Marketing Manager @ Mars, Japan Perhaps my favourite job title ever. Plus the revenue was six times the size of the entire Czech and Slovak Republic business, my previous post. From January 2000 to May 2003 (3 years 5 months) Tokyo, JapanRetail Store Manager @ Victoria Wine, UK First job out of college. Management training programme with Allied Lyons the brewing giant. My job was to manage an off-license in the Ayrshire mining town of Cumnock. I could write a book on this alone! Lucky to get home every night in one piece. But my taste for wine was launched....... From August 1982 to August 1983 (1 year 1 month) Cumnock, Ayrshire, ScotlandNewspaper Delivery Boy @ John Menzies Newsagent I had many jobs as a student including sales assistant in a furniture store, cleaning assistant for airline meal service company, tomato picker at farm, general labourer at a cotton mill and others. But the one that taught me the biggest lesson was being a paper boy when I was 13. I had the choice of two routes. The apartments, like our own family's, in and around the street where I lived or the route around the upmarket part of Ayr. I chose the latter even though it was a long cycle ride to get there and back each day. I was dreaming of the tips at Christmas. However I only received one tip from the only house who took the Scottish tabloid Daily Record. I received ten shillings (50p). My friend who took my home area received about ten pounds. So if you lived in the Doonfoot area of Ayr in 1972 and had a paper delivered from John Menzies and it was not the Daily Record, you should be ashamed of yourselves. (And also, we never called them apartments, we called them "flats" and we entered them through a "close" - communal entrance to the rest of the non-Scottish world). From September 1972 to January 1973 (5 months) Doonfoot area, Ayr, capital of Ayrshire, Scotland.VP Special Projects & Growth Strategies. @ Nike Managed a number of different projects. All special. Assisted with a number of strategic initiatives with the aim of delivering growth. From February 2015 to June 2018 (3 years 5 months) Portland, Oregon AreaChief Operating Officer @ Hurley, A Nike Company Nike's Surf Company. I think they got me mixed up with someone else. Happy they did. Way too fancy a title for the role. Long story. Surfs not always up. From August 2013 to January 2015 (1 year 6 months) Orange County, California AreaSales Director @ Nike Central Europe, Middle East & Africa That was a special time. My first job at Nike. Something went horribly right! From September 2007 to August 2008 (1 year) Hilversum, NetherlandsTechnical Sales Manager, Scotland @ Blundell Permoglaze, then Manders Sounds like a double glazing company, actually an industrial finishes, or paint and protective coatings, manufacturer. I learned to sell tailor-made product direct to factory buyers. First hand experience of being taken over by another company too. An education. Ask me a question about wood varnish. From September 1983 to July 1987 (3 years 11 months) Prestwick, ScotlandGM @ Nike France A privilege. Bien Sur!! Albeit missing that little triangle thing above the u. So many great experiences during that time. A lot happened. From September 2008 to October 2012 (4 years 2 months) Paris, FranceMarket Development Director @ Mars Japan Responsible for Mars Snackfood and Main Meal business in Japan. From June 2003 to May 2005 (2 years) Tokyo, JapanMarketing Director @ Mars Czech & Slovak Republics Biggest achievement in the four years was giving birth to Jake there, although I cannot take all the credit. As for work, well, in the final year I was the Sales and Marketing Director. From October 1995 to December 1999 (4 years 3 months) Prague, Czech RepublicExport Sales Manager, Central Europe @ Masterfoods, UK Happy days as Elliot appeared at this time. At work, managed the sale of Uncle Ben's and Dolmio product to the newly opened eastern Europe markets after the fall of the Berlin wall. Favourite failure - trying to sell Gulash Sauce, made in Holland, to the Hungarian consumer. From August 1993 to September 1995 (2 years 2 months) Kings Lynn, EnglandCarol's Assistant, Cook and Anything Else She Wants Me For. Also learning Gaelic. Bought a saxophone @ Carol. It is a dirty job but someone's got to do it. Edinburgh and Ayr, Scotland, United KingdomNational Account Manager @ Pedigree Petfoods, UK 1992. Stood out. Eve was born, on a palindromic date to go with their palindromic name. 29/9/92. Also bought my first piece of Linn Hi-Fi equipment. And, Leeds United won the English League Championship. Over the years I held a number of positions. Wholesale Sales Manager, Area Sales Manager, Divisional Sales Manager, National Account Manager and Sales Ops Manager. In case there is any confusion, I was in sales. From August 1987 to August 1993 (6 years 1 month) Melton Mowbray, England
