Nelson Will Bring an Entrepreneurial Mindset to P&G's Board
▪ In addition to experience improving large, multi-national CPG companies, Nelson
has successfully invested in and grown small and mid-size consumer brands
▪ These brands have successfully competed against
industry giants by getting the most out of available
resources, being agile, thinking out of the box and
being open to disruptive strategies
Examples:
Snapple

COMPANY

School Case Study:
"How Snapple Got
Its Juice Back"
Many of P&G's existing Board members have developed their careers at large
institutions (e.g., GE, American Express, Walt Disney, etc.)
However, in a world increasingly moving towards fragmenting consumer brands,
where large businesses like P&G need to act more nimbly, embracing a smaller
company mindset will be critical
▪ Nelson has helped turn around large multi-national companies, in part by instilling
the principles he learned as an owner and operator of small / mid-size companies
"Nelson was quick to recognize that removing Snapple from a bureaucratic Quaker Oats culture would enable
entrepreneurialism and innovation. The result was a dramatic sales turnaround and more than quadrupling of
company value in just 3 years."
