Kirsten is Marketing Director for Mondelez International where she heads up the Meals portfolio spanning two of the UK’s top brands, Philadelphia & Dairylea. With 16 years experience in the FMCG Industry, Kirsten is an inspiring enterprise leader with a proven track record of delivering exceptional business results. Kirsten joined Mondelez in 2019 leading the commercial team for Cadbury. Her formative years were spent at Procter and Gamble working on an array of billion dollar brands, such as Always, Oral B, Max Factor & Olay. Her proudest moment came on International Women’s Day 2018 with the launch of the Always End Period Poverty, a campaign that eradicated the need for 200,000 girls to miss school due to a lack of access to affordable sanitary protection in this country.
Kirsten is a passionate leader of people & driver of cultural change, known for bringing out the best across large commercial teams, championing purpose & challenging what is possible. Her favourite mantra, “What Would You Do If You Weren’t Afraid” is the title of her Podcast where she engages with C-Suite Speakers to demonstrate what true leadership & bravery looks like. This is underpinned by the Mondelez Connection Circles network, a DE&I initiative she founded for 200 colleagues via a partnership with the LeanIn Foundation.
Outside of work you’ll most likely find her wrangling her strong willed 6 year old or singing some power ballads at the top of her voice.
