• A university degree (Bachelor’s or Master’s) or equivalent experience, ideally with at least 10 years in a senior commercial or leadership role.
• A deep understanding of B2B marketing and the ability to navigate complex, multi-product value and supply chains.
• Proven success in leading cross-functional, multicultural teams — both on-site and remotely.
