Current Sr. Director of Emerging Brands at Jack Links Protein Snacks where I lead brand, marketing and strategy for the emerging brands portfolio consisting of Lorissa’s Kitchen, Golden Island Jerky, Wild River Jerky, Country Fresh Meats, and Jack Links Bloody Mary Mix.My background includes time at Nestle where I helped co-lead innovation (and the marketing/brand implications) at the USA Accelerator across coffee, creamers, and frozen food categories for multiple multi-billion dollar brands, as well as being a 5-year CPG Founder of a vertically integrated business with 3,200 sq/ft of manufacturing space. Having the experience of a Founder where I led everything from ops to sales, marketing and finance before having a team and agency partners, paired with my time at organizations like Nestle and Jack Links allows me to draw on a wide range of experience, skills and perspectives as a leader.I also love working with, and advising startups. I meet with multiple Founders every week to advise, mentor, and keep my finger on the pulse of the industry that I love.I'm also the President & CEO of The Alex Rabbe Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit focused on supporting mental health and reducing suicide in Philadelphia.
