Overview
Day to day, I help provide valuable insight on the performance of our brands at VWG. This helps identify pinch point areas across the business and brands and helps accelerate actions for the business. Brand Management acts as a conduit between VWFS and the brands at VWG, with the BM team responsible for financial performance across all sales channels.
