His life turned around when he met Nestlé who did not only provide him with products for distribution, but also gave him a support structure for development as a distributor.
Twenty years down the line, Christian has become one of the biggest distributors of Nestlé products in Nigeria and in West Africa. His story is one out of the thousands whose lives have been changed through the opportunities Nestlé provides across its value chain. This principle is called Creating Shared Value (CSV), and is embedded in the way Nestlé does business.
