Nigeria

ARLA AMBA

A unique challenge came my way: to be responsible for setting up and operating the biggest milk powder plant of Arla, a multinational cooperative based in Denmark, who is the largest producer of dairy products in Scandinavia.

I increased our market share with 50% within the first 12 months and took the company to the number 2 spot in the Powdered Milk category with a market share of over 20% in 2017, making us the fastest growing FMCG company in Nigeria and within Arla Foods Amba. Revenue in 2017 was up with 75% versus 2016 and profit was up by 100%.

In 2018, we were selected as the best-performing company within the Arla group, taking our business beyond the 100 m.EU revenue benchmark.
