German term or phrase: GV-Großverbraucher
I asked this before and I am afraid that the Kudoz tips were wrong-I found out from the horse's mouth (viz. customer) that GV stands for GROßVERBRAUCHER. Would that be something like "bulk consumer"?
the context is part of a cv under the heading of projects and then
"Neustrukturierung"- the person was responsible for
"Neustrukturierung:PM/KAM/*GV*

Restructuring the way bulk customers were served perhaps (at a meat marketing company)

Many thanks for suggestions.

I've even come across with "high-volume consumers" in business documents.

large account sales


Explanation:
I know the the German abbreviation GV in sales language as Großkundenvertrieb = large account sales (vs. small account sales). The person was responsible for restructuring PM (project management), KAM (key account management) and GV (Großkundenvertrieb = large account sales).
