With more than thirty years in the consumer-packaged goods industry with an extensive background in candy and pet foods, I specialize in customer and broker development and driving category sales. It’s been exciting to see Yowie’s fast growth into 30,000 retail locations nationwide.

Yowie represents education and engagement with the natural world. I love that Yowie collectibles help kids and families understand the unique role we have in protecting endangered species around the world

The Alpaca since it’s a social animal, intelligent and found in South America. And “Alpaca” is a lot of fun to say!

I have a taste (and skill) for supporting candy companies, working at major manufacturers such as Mars Wrigley, Kraft and Kellogg’s before coming to Yowie in 2015.

My favorite character has to be Rumble, as he is the leader of the tribe, despite his excitable and “rough around the edges” demeanor.

My favorite is the Giant Panda from our first series. I view the Panda as an iconic symbol and staple of the beginning of our Yowie journey.

I love two things about my job: working with our clients and the fringe benefit of getting to eat Yowie chocolate! In 2018, I brought my extensive experience in customer development, category management, operations and revenue in both the ANZ and US markets to my role at Yowie. I honed these skills through a sales manager role at Kimberly-Clark and consulting with a variety of other fast-moving consumer goods companies.

I love the fact that Yowie is not only a great tasting treat, but it also provides education about our wildlife in a fun and interactive way.

My favorite would be Boof who has plenty of fun while protecting the rainforest and mountain habitats.

Yowie benefits from my experience in public and private companies ranging from start-up to Fortune 100 businesses spanning food, manufacturing, consumer products, service, retail and distribution industries. I’ve managed corporate dealings across five continents to date. So, if anyone is interested in a business meeting in Antarctica, let me know!

Rumble – I love the name and the fact that he is related to a kangaroo – one of my all-time favorite animals.

Although I love kangaroos, my favorite animals we’ve featured so far are Albert’s Lyrebird and the Hooded Pitohui from the current Animals with Superpowers series. They have incredibly unique super-power stories and the detail on both collectibles is great.

As an executive marketing thought leader, I’ve successfully scaled consumer product business with multiple product lines for Fortune 100 and 500 global brands. I’m fluent in English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese and have held business meetings in all three languages—just not at the same time!

I love seeing how excited fans get across our social channels each time they dive into learning about a new animal. It’s heartwarming to see people engaging so much with the educational content we share every day.

Ditty because he makes me laugh with his always upbeat and confident personality. He’s never deterred, even when the odds look insurmountable. He just rolls up his sleeves and figures out what to do in the most creative (and dramatic!) way possible.

My diverse career trajectory has taken me all over the world working for companies like Warner Lambert, Pfizer, Cadbury, Avon, Bombril and Mondelez. I’m fluent in three languages, lived overseas for 17 years and have worked in more than 30 countries!

It’s not only a chocolate treat with a surprise inside, but also a great educational tool for young kids.

I am extremely connected with the oceans, so my favorite has always been Squish, the guardian of animals who live in the waterways.

I’m the one who makes sure you get your Yowie chocolate! I manage our US supplier relationships on a day-to-day basis and ensure product is produced and available for Yowie customers. I also get involved with new product development, from idea generation to production of the finished product, working alongside my strategy, sales and marketing colleagues.

BOOF! The guardian of the rainforest and mountains. He is delightfully unpredictable and the ever-funny clown of the Yowie Family.

The Black-flanked Rock-Wallaby. Being Australian, I’m a fan of kangaroos, and I like the Rock-Wallaby’s superpower of super sticky feet to help it climb on the rocks.

I prepare the company’s financial reports and work with auditors to ensure compliance. I promise, it’s much more fun than it sounds—especially as Yowie grows by leaps and bounds across the United States and Australia.

Yowie helps me teach my 3-year-old about endangered animals and wildlife preservation.

The Giant Panda from the Premier Series – it’s my favorite because pandas are roly-poly and eat lots of bamboo!

I have worked in Accounting all my life and truly love it. Here at Yowie, I am continuing the work I enjoy and helping to support our team.

I love the educational aspect of the toys, including what I hope would be inspiration to cherish this earth for future generations

I don’t have one, but as stated above, am happy to see Yowie playing a part in trying to save endangered species.
