Sales Director US - Flavors & F&F Ingredients

We're currently representing a senior commercial leader with 20+ years’ experience across flavor and F&F ingredients (citrus, aroma chemicals, botanical extracts, stevia, etc.), with a strong track record of driving revenue growth, leading international teams, and developing major global accounts.

Recently, he led a $170M global F&F ingredients portfolio, managing key relationships with Givaudan, IFF, Symrise, and Dsm-Firmenich, while delivering 28% growth in 2 years. Across his career, he has consistently combined strong commercial leadership with technical credibility, helping customers bring solutions to market and delivering measurable business growth.

His background spans global flavour houses, ingredient distribution, and beverage-related businesses. Highlights include growing Givaudan’s Northeast territory from $5.8M to $26M, scaling East Coast sales from $1.8M to $7.6M, and playing a technical lead role in the US launch of Smirnoff Ice, which went on to generate more than $200M in annual revenue.

He is now exploring senior commercial leadership, strategic account management, or business development opportunities, with particular interest in returning to the citrus or flavor sector.
