  • Packaging Artistry: Oversee packaging design (primary & secondary) to ensure luxury craftsmanship and functional excellence.
  • Industrialization & Execution: Coordinate with Product Marketing, Research & Innovation, Packaging, and Industrial teams to solve technical complexities (stability, feasibility, cost) to ensure on-time delivery.

3. Integrated 360° Launch:

  • Asset Creation: Lead the development of the 360° marketing mix, including visual imagery, social/digital content, and retail merchandising.
  • Go-to-Market Kits: Provide implementation guidelines and "Country Kits" to ensure successful local adaptation and execution.
