Work performed in a "hold separate" environment under a supervision of a European Commission trustee (due to the impending sale of some EU business units by ABInbev). As such, I was effectively the Head of Packaging Procurement for these business units (where I previously had a dotted line reporting to Global Category VP at SABMiller). I was also leading and/or supporting various activities related to the divestment process.
