Somu has three decades of corporate experience with industries including food & beverage, telecom, renewable energy and allied health, and is now keen to create impact in his local community.

His research interests lay in the fields of value chain improvement, technology uptake, data analysis, streamlining supply chain, renewable energy-led innovation, extension services, aged care and NDIS, P&L stewardship, strategic management, and sustainability readiness.

Somu brings to the table a proven track record of delivering superior results driven by strong general management skills. A decent chunk of the said industry experience (20 years) was with one of the world’s most fascinating, dynamic, and loved brands, Coca-Cola. The various roles provided in-depth exposure to sales operations, route to market, trade marketing, franchise management to P&L stewardship ($270m business, 800+ people) with sustainability.
