Background

About John Kenny

As a senior finance director at Coty, I leverage my 15+ years of finance leadership experience at global FMCG companies to oversee the global logistics function and drive strategic financial planning and performance improvement. I am an ACCA qualified accountant with a strong foundation in financial control, reporting, and governance, as well as a keen eye for identifying and delivering value-adding opportunities. My core competencies include business partnering, commercial analysis, change management, investment appraisals, and team leadership. I have led successful multidisciplinary change projects across various markets and regions, such as a €17M cost reduction initiative across L'Oréal Asia Pacific, which enabled crucial investment for top line growth. I have also gained expertise in digital and media controlling, supporting the digital transformation and media optimization of L'Oréal China and North Asia. I am passionate about translating analytical insights into effective actions, delivering tangible results through process efficiency and cross-functional collaboration. I am also committed to developing and empowering my team, fostering a culture of excellence and innovation.
