Richard Brentnall FCILT
Group Logistics and Supply Chain Director
Multi Market P&L, Capital, Network and Operating Model Accountability
Accountable for margin, capital allocation and enterprise risk across 15 international markets within complex FMCG and retail businesses.
For over 25 years, I have operated in volatile, capital-intensive environments where operating judgement directly shapes margin quality, capital allocation and enterprise risk at board and shareholder level. My experience spans enterprise turnaround, multi-market restructuring, capital protection, structural cost reset and large-scale digital transformation.
I operate where margin durability, capital discipline and execution under pressure converge, strengthening economic performance across systems that cannot afford instability.
