About Karrisa Gehring, Mba

I am a goal-oriented business strategist, utility player, and strong overall partner with an exemplary track record of leading a team to achieve through both growing and challenging times in the food industry. From agribusiness to the manufacturing of food ingredients and consumer packaged goods, I have the astute ability to transform data into meaningful information that leads to solid business recommendations. I apply practical corporate knowledge built through years of leading teams in a growing, publicly traded company. I have the proven ability to impact business growth and profitability through the rationalization and/or maximum utilization of products, assets and customers, investment analysis and decisions (acquisitions and divestitures), and by boosting efficiency with process improvements, back office synergies, including technology implementations, and raising results by cultivating motivated, engaged, driven and accountable teams. I am a people and results driven agile business partner with a myriad of accomplishments reflecting superior business acumen, strong analytic skills, a people first approach, financial and risk management rigor and only able to do so with a servant leadership style and the support of amazing teams.
