Background

About Berto Kotze

I am a dynamic and experienced senior blue chip marketer whose passion lies in nurturing and growing brands. My international experience has taken me from Africa to Asia, from the Middle East and Turkey to Europe and has given me invaluable insight into the vital importance of cross cultural understanding and collaboration in driving growth and success in multi-cultural environments. My commitment to understanding consumer synergies and differences across regions and countries means I bring invaluable insight to the brands I work with. Leading and inspiring teams to grow brands is what I do best. I have unique experience preparing and launching brands into white spaces, across multiple regions. My entrepreneurial mindset combined with unique problem solving instincts means I have consistently driven profitable sales growth and market share across brands and geographies. I have been involved in developing breakthrough innovation that ranges from low income dishwash paste solutions in Africa to premium fabric conditioner mixes in Europe. I have extensive experience in nurturing and growing brands, both from a regional and global perspective. I believe strongly in the importance of interpersonal skills alongside high level stakeholder engagement in building strong relationships and strategic partnerships.
