Tim Mooney will step up to the role of UK & Ireland general manager on 2 February, bringing with him more than 25 years of experience across UK and global CPG and retail. His career includes leadership positions at Sainsbury’s, Safeway, Danone, and GSK.
Since joining Mars Inc’s Global Customer Team in 2020, Mooney has led global customer and category partnership initiatives, driving growth and collaboration across the Mars business.
In his new role, Mooney will report directly to Hans Bakker, Mars Food & Nutrition regional general manager Europe.
Commenting, Bakker said: “It is with great excitement that we welcome Tim to lead the Mars Food & Nutrition team in UK & Ireland. His extensive industry experience and strategic vision will be instrumental in driving the performance of our iconic brands to deliver category value through mutual and sustainable growth.”
Mooney joins Mars Food & Nutrition at an “important time”, as the business continues to drive and support its leading brands - Ben’s Original and Dolmio - with an innovation agenda that includes a new and rapidly expanding ambient ready meals range.
“I am delighted to take on this role and look forward to working with our partners across the UK & Ireland to co-create value for our customers, consumers and the category,” Mooney added.
“Food & Nutrition is one of the most innovative parts of the Mars business with iconic household brands, and I’m incredibly excited to have the opportunity to build on the team’s success.”
