5.0 out of 5based on 7 reviews
Shaun and I worked together at Pepsi in the European contract manufacturing leadership team. Beyond Shaun’s deep functional competency which is advanced both strategically and tactically, his standout quality is the nature of his leadership. He has real substance in his personality with the ability to connect effortlessly with all layers within an organisation. This includes being thoughtful, calm and leading with presence without ego. Shaun was always my ‘go to’ for advice and guidance which is an endorsement for the strength of his relationship building skills.

Ian Rooney

Chief Supply Chain Officer, Food & Beverage

I'd recommend Shaun to any organisation that needs Supply Chain or Commercialisation leadership expertise. My experience of working with him at PepsiCo showed him to be at his best when operating in the bridge between creative product intent and operational execution. His ability to translate between these different groups and deliver excellent work on time, every time is no doubt part of the reason for his incredible career path. Shaun combines a brilliant mix of skills: When Shaun leads work he is calm, considered and process centred. Stakeholders are managed, clarity is unquestioned and execution is faultless. Equally Shaun brings these skills to help turnaround failing work, he combines his calm, logical thought processes with the speed and urgency needed to fix the issues. If your business needs robust process discipline or a fast acting help I'd recommend you talk to Shaun.

Supply Chain Generalist, FMCG

I had the privilege of working directly with Shaun for over a decade at PepsiCo, within Global Concentrate, and stayed closely connected as he moved into Pepsi/Lipton. Across that time, and in the friendship that's grown alongside it, I've seen consistently what makes Shaun such an effective operator and leader. Shaun gets to the actual root cause of a problem and translates that into a clear, executable plan. I saw this play out repeatedly, from his work building out the European contract manufacturing strategy, where he had to align competing priorities across multiple internal functions and external manufacturing partners, to earlier in his career managing new innovation launches, which demanded the same kind of cross-functional discipline under real time pressure. Shaun is naturally collaborative in environments that are genuinely complex. He brings people along without losing sight of the end result, and he does it with a calm, steady presence that earns trust quickly. Beyond the professional respect I have for him, Shaun is simply a great person to work with and know. I have no doubt he'll bring the same strategic clarity and collaborative energy to his own business that he brought to every team he was part of at PepsiCo.

Janice Scully

SVP Global Operations & Supply Chain, FMCG / Pharma

I had the pleasure of working with Shaun at TCCC on the RTD Coffee business, and greatly valued his partnership and support. Shaun combines deep supply chain expertise with a highly collaborative and pragmatic approach, making him an invaluable colleague during a period of significant change and growth. His knowledge across forecasting, S&OP, co-packer management and supply chain optimisation helped us build a more efficient and resilient supply chain. During a particularly challenging relaunch, Shaun's thoughtful advice and leadership on demand forecasting helped us successfully manage volatility and maintain continuity of supply. Beyond his technical expertise, Shaun is a genuine trusted partner, always willing to share his knowledge and help others succeed. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and would highly recommend him.

Ben Galloway

Business Leader, Global Beverage Company

I have known and worked with Shaun for many years at his three previous incarnations. I've always found him a delight to work with, measured, calm and knowledgeable. I would recommend him without hesitation - if it were not for the fact that he may now be my competitor :-).

Steve Wall

Owner & Supply Chain Consultant, The Sequoia Partnership

I had the pleasure of working with Shaun in a customer–service provider relationship during a particularly challenging period (COVID and a complex system implementation). Shaun stood out for a pragmatic yet highly process-driven approach. He excels at bringing diverse stakeholders together, ensuring alignment through clear communication, well-defined goals, and structured timelines. What impressed me most was Shaun’s ability to create clarity and momentum: every stakeholder understood expectations, timing, and next steps, enabling the team to stay on track and deliver against agreed outcomes. Shaun’s disciplined follow-up and focus on execution made a real difference in achieving success. I would highly recommend Shaun for any role requiring strong stakeholder management, structured delivery, and results-driven leadership.

Ben Erpels

Sales & Marketing Director - Europe , Expeditors

I had the privilege of working alongside Shaun in the Global Category Supply Chain team, where his strategic vision and deep operational expertise consistently stood out. He brings an ability to connect end‑to‑end supply chain dynamics with the broader business agenda, translating complexity into clear, value‑driven decisions. Shaun’s experience across major consumer goods companies is evident in the way he navigates global operations, influences stakeholders, and elevates performance with discipline and clarity. He is a highly capable leader who inspires confidence and delivers impact.
