Julie Cheam
Asia Pacific Sales Director @ Symrise AG
About
With 17 years of international experience across France 🇫🇷 (7 years) and China 🇨🇳(10 years), I have developed strong expertise in the FMCG industry, covering Food Service, Retail, and B2B channels. Throughout my career with renowned companies such as Danone , Andros, and Decathlon, I’ve built a deep understanding of how to grow brands and businesses in diverse markets. My multicultural background and international journey have shaped my ability to adapt, connect, and perform in diverse environments, bridging Asian and Western ways of thinking and doing business. Driven by a lifelong passion for sports — especially triathlon 🏊♀️ 🚴♀️ 🏃♀️ — I’m motivated by challenges and continuously seek opportunities to push boundaries, both personally and professionally. The discipline and resilience that sport teaches are values I bring into my everyday work. Now proud to lead as APAC Sales Director at Symrise Pet Food, contributing to innovative solutions that enhance pets’ well-being and owners’ satisfaction.
