Martin Radvan is an experienced and highly successful international leader. A Brit by nationality, Martin is currently based in both the UK and the U.S. and has also lived in France and the Middle East, where he helped establish the first Mars Inc. operating unit in that region.
As Deputy Group CEO and EVP of Mars Inc., and President & CEO of Mars Wrigley Confectionery, the world’s largest confectionery manufacturer, Martin was responsible for all Mars’ chocolate, gum, mints, and confections brands – an $18bn P&L with 35,000 staff in 70 countries and industry-leading brands including M&Ms, Snickers, Mars, Twix, Orbit, Extra, Skittles, and Starburst.
