Leach’s appointment signifies CROSSMARK’s move toward improving its communications and innovation between global retailers and manufacturers in the US, Canada, and Australia, and improving shopper experience and category sales across all retail channels in New Zealand.
He will report to Asia-Pacific CEO Kevin Moore, who said: “We are very excited to have appointed an MD for New Zealand. This signifies a change in how we facilitate communication with our clients, and we believe that Grant will successfully lead this change.â€
“Grant’s experience encompasses a number of business areas and we believe he will be able to take our New Zealand office to the next level as we continue our commitment to facilitating effective two way communication with our clients.â€
