My expertise and passion unite at the intersection of sustainable business strategy and customer-centric culinary innovation. I thrive on uncovering opportunities to create and operationalize crave-able new products while maximizing profitability for brands committed to sustainable sourcing models and progressive people cultures. As a classically trained chef armed with a Master’s in Food Systems and a background in innovation leadership, marketing, supply chain and operations, I understand the innovation-to-market process through a cross-functional lens. I’ve had the honor of leading teams at Chipotle, Panera, Everytable and Nextbite through successful multi-million dollar launches across multiple categories and dayparts. The driving force behind my career is the desire to heal our food system through customer-driven, strategic innovation for a brighter and more delicious future.

I offer food and beverage leadership in:

  • Sustainable Business Strategy
  • Product Innovation
  • Supply Chain
  • Manufacturing & Operations
  • Integrated Marketing
  • Nutrition, Wellness, & Fitness
