Nik Gantchev
About
As an experienced business leader with high accountability and growth-oriented leadership style I’ve
developed a unique blend of functional capabilities harnessed over 25 years in corporate & advisory roles.
I’m passionate about bringing this expertise to an enterprise on a growth or transformational trajectory
where I can leave my mark on a business, create customer value and build internal equity.
What 5 things I bring to the table:
Unique blend of functional expertise spanning the end-to-end product lifecycle from discovery or
acquisition to production, commercialization, and ongoing operational excellence. I’ve been on both
sides of the negotiations table leading the selling as well as buying sides within highly complex and
regulated environments on global scale.
Laser sharp focus on simplifying and streamlining ‘running the business’ while shifting resources
towards ‘growing the business’. I’ve recently led the standup of a CommEx function targeting synergies
across SFE, Pricing and Strategic Account Mgmt. delivering 120 bps ($500MM) P&L growth within a
single business cycle.
Hands on experience with major corporate M&A and Restructuring initiatives. I’ve led the global
program office of $2BN publicly committed restructuring program and have worked on numerous
acquisitions and divestitures focusing on business integration as well as divestitures.
Proven leadership track record in complex matrixed organizations involving both internal functional
teams as well as external resourcing. I’ve served as Chief of Staff & Head of Strategy to two C-suite
leaders with extensive global organizations and have led major change management, operating and
organizational design transformations.
High level of agility and adaptability to different business and cultural contexts with focus on creative
problem solving and lean execution. I’ve worked across many established and emerging markets and
interacted with both business and institutional stakeholders; the last three roles in my career did not
exist prior to me stepping in them and are now established corporate functions.
