Bio
Craig Cooper
Jean joined IDC early in my tenure of business redevelopment and played a key support role in resurrecting the business from poor performance and dysfunctional organisation. Jean quickly contributed a high level of professionalism & structure to both driving our success in Ontario and the greater IDC management team & business. Jean lead Ontario business performance to double $GP in 12 months, and built a field sales team capability equal to the best in the liquor industry. Jean is a strategic thinker who can drive action through to execution and so deliver successful results. He performs to a very high level with all communications, and is confident building multi-level partnerships with both internal & external stakeholders. Jean has a high level of energy,optimism & inherent management skills to make success happen.

Jean and I worked hand in hand in developing relationships of Anheuser-Busch's Sports properties that could be integrated into the fabric of Canada with our partner Labatt. Properties included Formula 1 and the BMW Williams Team, NFL, NBA and NHL. Jean was someone who you could always count on delivering the actionable items in a timely and professional manner while always knowing how to integrate these marketing programs to sell more beer! I would enjoy the opportunity to work with Jean again!
