Transforms sales and marketing organizations for retail and consumer packaged goods clients, finding the potential for long-term growth

Kelly is a leader in our Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods Practices in the Americas. She supports a wide range of clients on their strategy, marketing and sales, and consumer multichannel efforts.

Among recent initiatives, Kelly helped a major apparel retailer understand its consumer decision journey, designed a continuous channel strategy for a global mass merchant, and developed an omni-channel strategy for a consumer electronics retailer. She helped guide a broad commercial transformation for a large home- and personal-care business, including the redesign of its sales organization.

Kelly has also done recent work to guide the development of a new foodservice innovation process for a global packaged-goods manufacturer, redesigning its distributor strategy and helping the company to reverse its declining market share and position itself for long-term growth.
