Vittoria Gambirasi, Nestlé

Global Marketing Excellence Manager

It is often said that for an international initiative to be successful, the project must have a champion.  Not only is Vittoria Gambirasi that champion, but her energy, determination and overall dedication, combined with over 18 years of global experience, have driven change and resulted in improved corporate performance.  

Today, as Global Marketing Excellence Manager for Nestlé she is in charge of several programs that would exhaust a typical marketer-- Global Coordinator of Brand Building the Nestlé Way, Marketing Business Excellence, Corporate Brand Building Blocks and Global Brand Architecture. Vittoria, though, is far from typical; her enthusiasm for the company’s brands, its people around the world and new solutions is infectious.

Her task is huge—and she loves it.  Through innovative strategies, she must drive marketing business excellence while developing creative solutions to improve company positioning, establish brands, and boost profitability and growth.

A Nestlé veteran of 12 years, Vittoria Gambriasi joined the company’s operation in her home country of Italy as Export Business Manager for the Buitoni, Perugina, Motta, and Alemagna brands in the Nordics, France, Benelux, and United States.  She soon transitioned to communications and marketing where she orchestrated all internal and external international communications for Nestlé’s GLOBE initiative, then coordinated and implemented the sales and marketing best practices for all Nestlé business units across Italy with an active goal of stimulating positive change.  She moved to the company’s Vevey headquarters in 2012 to take on her current role.   

Earlier roles included positions at The Bolton Group, where she led product and brand development for a business unit portfolio in the Balkan countries Poland, Hungary, and Bulgaria, as well as Kraft and Shell.  She’s fluent in five languages—Italian, English, French, Serbian and Croatian.
