"Winning takes talent; to repeat takes character." – John WoodenAs a Consumer Goods Executive, I leverage an extensive history of leadership excellence, strategic planning, and business partnership building to provide solutions that deliver lasting performance results and enable consumer goods and food manufacturing organizations to increased growth, new market penetration, and improved performance.Over my professional food and beverages career, I have developed a broad-based background in lean manufacturing, logistics, strategic partnerships, and project management initiatives. With a focus on innovating high-quality products, I empower relationships and steer solutions that drive new growth opportunities.From my early days at Frito-Lay, I developed a deep understanding of key elements that ensured better performance, higher levels of safety, and an engaged workforce. At Kraft, I put into play those elements that turned around a 200+ employee union plant to produce upper quartile results across three consecutive years. As Director of North America Contract Manufacturing for Campbell Soup Company, I instituted disciplined processes that facilitated “make vs. buy” decision-making. While at Pinnacle Foods, I led the operations front for an intricate external manufacturing network of 52 dry and frozen contract manufacturers. Across a 2-year, $210MM internal repatriation of two massive brands, I provided the Supply Chain strategies and directed the external manufacturing transition.Now with Power Packaging, I lead account management for primary food brand customers and provide contract manufacturing solutions that enable category innovation and expansion.At the core of what I do is a passion of giving people the tools and processes to do new and amazing things with a mutual purpose to deliver strategic objectives with efficiency & effectiveness through value-driven actions."It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it." – John Wooden
