Coffee is what I think about first thing in the morning, then dinner. You, too? I want to bring great food, great people and great products together, so we all enjoy our time on this planet a bit more. My skills? Hmm, well; 18 years of corporate, but exceptionally entrepreneurial experience, developing the All-Clad brand and expressing it through a purposefully curated set of retail and media outlets. My experience and knowledge of culinary skills, trends, events and talented chefs is key. I have a great track record in recruiting and maintaining good employees. These skills contributed to a successful food business of my own, launched with my husband in 2005.
