Lion: Anubha Sahasrabuddhe
Lion has appointed Anubha Sahasrabuddhe as Consumer & Brand Director.
Sahasrabuddhe will run marketing for Australia and lead the Consumer Global Centre of Excellence across Australia, New Zealand, the US and UK.
Sahasrabuddhe will start the role early next year, returning to Australia after more than 20 years in global marketing leadership roles across North America and Asia Pacific. She is currently Global Vice President of Chocolate at Mars, based in the US, and has held a number of senior positions including Global Vice President, Wrigley in the US and China.
Prior to her career at Mars and Wrigley, Sahasrabuddhe worked for Coca-Cola in New Zealand, Hong Kong, China and the Philippines.
James Brindley, Managing Director, Lion Australia, said: “Born and raised just outside of Sydney, Sahasrabuddhe will return to Australia after a truly global career that saw her live in eight cities over the past 17 years. This world-wide perspective will be invaluable to Lion as the company focuses on the rebound of the adult beverages sector in 2021 following the heavy impact of COVID-19 restrictions during 2020.”
