Clive

My name is Clive! My career has included senior roles in R&D, QC, Sales & Marketing, Procurement, Consultancy & Innovation. Working with major organizations (Reckitt Benckiser, GlaxoSmithKline, PWC, Prudential plc and Roche), I have operated and led teams in 15 different countries.

During my time at Reckitt Benckiser, I was responsible for the global Procurement of crops, commodities, flavours & fragrances. This included sourcing psyllium from India, senna pods from Sudan, castor oil and pine oil from multiple countries, lemons & lemon oil from Europe and many others crops. The work required detailed analysis and understanding of market dynamics, contract negotiation, strategic buyer/supplier relationships etc. Many of these involved purchases of container or tanker loads of materials, and hence multi million dollar contracts. The materials being components for Lemsip, Dettol, Sennokot and other major brands.

I am a Global Citizen and Innovator, plus I co-lead a non-profit focused on helping End poverty, Reducing hunger & Creating meaningful jobs for people.
