12+ years of taking products to market

I’m Hamzeh Majiet. Over 12+ years I’ve created, launched and scaled consumer products across FMCG, beverages, cosmetics and healthcare in Australia, Africa and the Middle East, including with McCain Foods and Bayer Consumer Health.

That work spans product development, packaging, consumer insight, retail strategy and growth, from the first idea through to shelf and repeat sales.

I now use that experience to help founders do what most never get taught: prepare properly, pitch with the right numbers and earn a listing.

Portrait of Hamzeh Majiet

From first insight to repeat sales

My experience covers the full journey of a consumer product, in food, beverage, cosmetics and healthcare.

New product development

Turning consumer needs into products that are commercially viable and ready to launch.

Brand and packaging

Positioning and pack design that communicate value in seconds, on shelf and online.

Consumer insight

Understanding what shoppers want and will pay for before money is spent on development.

Retail strategy

Pricing, margin and range decisions built around what buyers need to say yes.

Marketing strategy

Go-to-market plans that connect the product, the retailer and the shopper.

Digital growth

Performance and online channels that build demand once a product is in market.
