He also held senior roles at Procter and Gamble and the Clorox Co., was the chairman and CEO of Remington Products, co-founded the Sun Products Co. and later co-founded Nonantum Capital Partners. His board service has spanned both public and private companies, private equity backed firms and mission driven non-profits - leaving a legacy of visionary leadership and results.
Looking forward, Marttin brings over 30 years of executive experience across international banking, food systems and sustainability.
