As Vice President of Business Development, Nuts for Bridgewell, I lead the effort to establish and grow a nut division within Bridgewell Agribusiness. I have worked in the food manufacturing business my entire career and this position brings out the best of my skill set. I source and sell food ingredients and establish the entire supply chain in between. This includes sourcing raw material or primary manufacturing, distribution and warehousing, and finally selling to both CPG manufacturing, wholesale manufacturers and retail. Prior to Bridgewell, I led marketing and sales efforts, was general manager of a start-up branch and led the development and launch of 15+ CPG food product lines, from ideation to the retail shelf. I have always had P&L responsibilities and led teams. In addition, over the years, I have established a basic knowledge of QA/QC needs, practices and documentation along with HR and accounting practices. In my free time, you can find me running (I recently completed a 50k), gardening, traveling with my wife (favorite destination: Italy), and spending time with family.
Listed skills include Marketing, Marketing Strategy, Social Media Marketing, Product Development, and 26 others.
