Food Technology Innovator, Speaker, and Growth Designer.
I love working on the growth challenges in Fortune 500 companies and new, fast-growing startup ecosystems.
Consumers spend $3 Trillion a year on packaged foods. At the same time, there’s undeniable evidence that eating packaged foods is related to the increase in chronic diseases - cancer, diabetes, and poor mental health. Our manufacturing and farming practices emit tons of carbon emissions that affect the nutrient values of our food every year. We can change these problems with better science and data tools.
I work on solving the greatest problems in food that affect my family, our communities, and the world.
