Our new colleague will inspire both internal and external stakeholders first, with the leadership skill to encourage positive, constructive, collaboration across our teams, and secondly with their proven and entrepreneurial mindset to grow our business. They will possess the drive and appetite to lead a successful international licensing team to maximise revenues, build and sustain brand presence, and continue to protect Bing’s longevity as a successful IP both in existing and new territories.
