In a nutshell, the people! I have met some of the most awesome, friendly, and supportive people to walk alongside me and help me in this first stage of my career!
The coolest thing about my job is the Autonomy that I have around all the vast Independent Retailers. They are more than welcome if you bring on smart ideas around what promotions to run and lap them with the occasions like Christmas and Easter.
Working with great people makes coming to work every day fun and rewarding. Working with great people has elevated my everyday experience as well as allowed me to enjoy the great parts of Diageo such as attending the bar at the office or going away as a team for customer visits.
The coolest thing about my job is to be able to work on continuous improvement projects and really make a difference in our products! The most recent project I worked on was in figuring out how to reduce liquid wastage across our canning line.
This job is rewarding as I can actually see the impact of my work, like when I’ve helped our brands show up brilliantly alongside famous artists at sold-out arenas. It also doesn’t hurt that I get to attend some amazing events!

Know your numbers! Doesn’t matter if you’re in Commercial or Supply, understanding and basing your decision making around facts and data is always going to support you in the long run.
Don’t wed yourself to a specific career path just because it’s the traditional way to do it. Think about where you want to be long term and be open to any opportunity that helps you get closer to it, even if it comes from somewhere totally unexpected.
