Launching personal care brands in Kenya required a sales manager with established relationships across East African retail networks. The TA team in Mumbai was struggling to identify candidates who possessed both corporate FMCG training and local market relationships.

CBREX routed the requirement to agencies with expertise in hiring in   Nairobi.

A high-performing regional BDM was hired at USD $72,000, driving immediate retail distribution across Kenya.
