Tim Roth, Kenvue

As head of sales capabilities for North America at Kenvue, Tim Roth is intent on increasing the commercial effectiveness of the consumer healthcare company (which is in the process of being acquired by Kimberly-Clark) through sales capability development, customer strategy, education, sales operations, revenue growth management (RGM), retail excellence and transformation initiatives.

“My primary mission is to advance Kenvue’s growth agenda by building the commercial capabilities, operating effectiveness and leadership talent needed to deliver sustainable business results,” he said. “In 2026, I focused on strengthening key growth enablers, including RGM, perfect store, sales operations, commercial learning and development, and performance management to improve execution across customers, channels and categories.”

Roth draws on more than three decades of experience in the CPG industry, a career that has included assignments in sales, customer development, category management, shopper insights, commercial strategy, RGM and organizational capability building. Since joining Johnson & Johnson in 1996 and continuing through the formation of Kenvue in 2022, he has advanced through a series of increasingly senior leadership roles, including responsibility for multibillion-dollar business portfolios and partnerships with major retailers, including Walmart.

Through it all, Roth has taken the greatest satisfaction in supporting the professional growth of colleagues.

“The most rewarding part of my role is developing people,” he said. “I enjoy coaching, mentoring and helping future leaders build the skills and confidence needed to succeed. I believe that when people are supported both personally and professionally, they are better equipped to deliver exceptional results.
