Former Mondelez e-Commerce lead, Alexandra Garcia, joins etaily

E-commerce enabler further strengthens its position in the online trade landscape with the entry of former Mondelez E-commerce lead Alexandra Garcia joining in as its new Fast Moving Consumer Goods Director.

Garcia had previously led the strategy and business foundational capabilities setup of Mondelez Philippines' eCommerce channel. Today, the company has a thriving B2B, Omni-channel, and Marketplace eCommerce business that makes it one of the biggest and fastest growing eCommerce countries in Mondelez Southeast Asia, all the while ensuring total channel profitability.

Before working for Mondelez, Garcia spent six years in L'Oreal, the leading global Beauty and Tech brand in the e-Commerce industry. In L'Oreal, she was appointed as the Luxury Division E-Commerce and Social Commerce Lead, wherein she spearheaded the growth of Kiehl's, which is currently the number one luxury skincare brand in Lazada today. The social commerce channel was also recognized for its best practices in L'Oreal Southeast Asia.

Before her stint in Luxury, she was the Consumer Product Division (CPD) Platform Lead for Lazada and handled its total CPD portfolio: Maybelline, L'Oreal, and Garnier.

Having developed expertise across leading Beauty subcategories (makeup, skincare, and hair care), the brands she handled were consistently recognized as part of the Top 5 Brands on critical platforms like Lazada and Shopee.

Alexander Friedhoff, Co-Founder & CEO of etaily, said: "We are super excited to have Alexandra part of the etaily rockstar team. Her complementary experience, valuable insights, and track records are impactful and will further strengthen our position and capabilities as a full-funnel partner to help our clients gain a competitive edge in today's digital world."

"It's exciting to be part of etaily. Its service of helping brands scale up their business in the growing online marketplace is important to respond to the needs of the expanding FMCG market," said Ms. Garcia.

Garcia will handle global and local FMCG and Beauty brands like Lactum, Enfagrow, Sustagen, Equal, URC, and Century Pacific Food Inc. As the enabler's business clientele grows, she will implement the best practices she developed over the years. Garcia will also build talent capabilities as she onboards experienced young talents from known multinational FMCG brands.
