Stephanie Wurzer
Category Manager for Snacks & Confectionery, headquarters of an Austrian food retail chain (several hundred stores) · Traiskirchen, Lower Austria
Stephanie Wurzer sees shelf space and turn before she reads a brand. At 36, she runs the snacks and confectionery category for a retail chain with several hundred stores — from grocer's-shop kid to negotiator across the table from sales directors with twice her years in the business. The next listing meeting is still ahead of her. Tough on substance, reliable on her word, with little patience for gut feeling.
