A seasoned entrepreneur with 2 successful exits, I am currently consulting organizations to help identify, develop, and execute new product development & sales strategies to generate long term growth. I’ve successfully launched two CPG brands – Luvli Juices (all natural vegetable juices) and Smashies (Organic no sugar added squeezable pouches) into Whole Foods, HEB, Harris Teeter via the natural and specialty food channel. Both enterprises failed to exit which means I have seen the pitfalls and traps of growing a CPG brand. A unique 18+ year career in both food and technology for early stage companies means I know how to go to market quickly and efficiently.
Transparent and direct, I enjoy learning about new products and for products I like, I want to add value immediately.
