About Jd Osman

Accomplished global executive leader in sales, marketing, and digital evolution with a 20+ track record of creating better customer experiences, innovating products, optimizing go-to-market programs, all driving increased revenue. At my core, I’m a strategic fixer. Just what does that mean? I lead venturesome and fast-moving teams to “think outside the box” formulating innovative ideas to both consumer and technically oriented problems. My 20+ years of experience is a tapestry highlighting innovation (fixing things) across the spectrum of sales, marketing, consumer experiences, and digital evolution. I’m very fortunate to have served great leaders who provided me with opportunities to fix what was not working, create what was not yet there, and simplify the complicated. I love to learn. I have an actively inquiring mind, and lively interest to know and learn about customer drivers, systems, facts, and behaviors. I have a thirst to understand what makes customers tick, what are their pain points, and what are unexpected ways to solve them. Success is not an accident, and it takes rigor. Across my varied roles, my approach has been similar- Understand what is broke, hard to do, and just plain needed by the customer- Validate opportunities with data and preferably lots of it- Establish clear strategies to delight the customer and thus drive revenue- Build strong nimble cross functional teams and trust them to be awesome at what they do- Measure the heck out of it, learn, and adapt. I have championed innovation for companies global, national, and local, in consumer goods, direct selling, education, health & wellness, and business ownership. I have worked for great companies and brands including- Gerber Baby products:#1 baby food share holder - Novartis Consumer health: leader in OTC brands and products - Nutrilite: Globally #1 brand of vitamins, minerals, and dietary supplements - Amway:#1 Direct selling company globally - National Heritage Academy: leader in K-12 education I have excellent analytical and relationship management skills, and I am recognized as out of the box thinker who develops innovative ideas for solving everyday problems more efficiently. I am an effective team leader with active coaching, training, and mentoring skills, multi-tasking capacity to work independently and in a team, and the flexibility to meet shifting goals and tight deadlines.
