Founder & Managing Director at Two Hands Greg McLardie

The Business Wilderness - The Voice of Entrepreneurs

Who is Greg Mclardie?

Driving me has been the strong desire to build something with such a strong foundation that it will last for generations. The “something” that is built will be a noble company. I want to make a difference. I want to put a dent in the universe. 10 years ago I had the guts to pursue this vision in the food industry.
I can connect the dots from disparate information to form a vision many others do not see. It is natural for me to challenge the status quo and to think of a better way. At the same time, I build strong relationships where 1+1 can equal 5.
Some would say 'perseverance' is my middle name. While it may seem counter-intuitive, I have the agility to learn, change and morph when facing obstacles. Obstacles and mistakes always provide a learning opportunity.
I have had 22 years consumer products and 17 years food industry experience in USA, Japan, Australia & China. Also CEO experience in FMCG, food and agriculture industries in large and small companies for the last 24 years. Although in recent years I have been on a strong entrepreneurial track, I spent 8 years with Procter & Gamble in their Cincinnati global headquarters. P&G, which invented brand management, gave me a strong grounding in branding, the importance of continuous innovation and the rigours of research and being fact-based in decision making. I also spent 2 years as President of Japan & South Korea, living in Japan, for Australia’s largest food company, Pacific Dunlop’s food operations. I have an 8 year relationship with lobster and abalone fishermen leaders and 6 years and over 30 visits building relationships in China.
