Cutting Edge Innovation helps food & beverage companies define their foodservice strategy, understand where they can win, and accelerate their entry and sales into accounts that really make sense for their products.As a former VP of Innovation and Executive Chef for Dunkin Brands, the world’s largest coffee, bakery and ice cream chain, I’ve developed a vast network and knowledge of the industry, it’s suppliers, and what it takes to make products successful for large chains. The teams I’ve had a privilege of leading have launched hundreds of products into the marketplace.At CEI, we see a lot of companies who want to do business with large Quick Service Restaurants but don’t know where to start, what’s expected of them, or how to accelerate their success.These companies are leaving money on the table by waiting to enter this market, or over investing in sales teams who don’t have experience before they find out whether they have something for this market segment. If you’re a brand who is having trouble finding the right suppliers for relevant food and beverage innovation, or a supplier who would like to learn more about how to accelerate success, please reach out!
