Sheldon Is Ready for His Next Sales Leadership Role

20+ year CPG growth leader delivering $500MM+ incremental revenue across major retailers.

Cincinnati, OH

About

I help food and beverage brands get on grocery store shelves and get chosen by shoppers.

My background is in building and scaling CPG businesses in senior sales and business development roles across large global companies and entrepreneurial, privately held brands I’ve worked closely with national and regional retailers, helping teams connect strategy to execution. I’m a people-first, player-coach leader. who focuses on alignment, clarity, and results. I’m looking to partner with mid-sized food manufacturers, \~$200MM to $2B in revenue, where I can jump in quickly and help accelerate the next phase of growth.

I bring more than 20 years of senior commercial leadership in food and beverage, with a proven track record of driving profitable growth across both large, complex organizations and lean, entrepreneurial environments. I have led national and regional retail businesses across Kroger, Walmart, Target, Meijer, and Ahold banners, delivering over $500MM in incremental revenue and launching 200+ new products by connecting strategy to disciplined execution at shelf.

What differentiates me is my ability to blend big-CPG rigor with hands-on, people-first leadership. I have built and scaled businesses ranging from Fortune 500 portfolios to privately held and PE-backed companies, leading cross-functional teams, brokers, and customers through periods of change, growth, and transformation. This includes developing a $100MM innovation pipeline, delivering +20% portfolio growth, and accelerating velocity through assortment, pricing, and executional clarity.

I am at my best partnering with organizations that want a leader who can step in quickly, align teams, and turn white space into measurable results. I bring clarity, accountability, and momentum, and I focus on building sustainable growth that works for the customer, the consumer, and the business.

If you know a hiring manager who needs a steady operator to drive cross-functional results, I would love an introduction. A quick LinkedIn share also helps more than you think, I will make it easy and follow up thoughtfully.
