He will be based in Sloggi’s London headquarters and the company said that his strong track record in developing people across functions, and his “robust retail and e-commerce expertise will be perfectly placed to drive Sloggi’s aggressive growth plans in the North Cluster over the next year and beyond.”
 
Cara said: “It’s an incredibly exciting time for the Sloggi brand, with the new brand vision and strategy ramping up in 2018 and several global launches of new product innovations in the pipeline.”
