Through my time with Oscar Mayer, I believe that we were in the cradle of creating what good looks like for Marketing in the Foodservice Channel.

I enjoyed collaborating with sales and customers especially Subway whom we converted from Bulk meats sliced in store at the small regional chain to presliced meats… Show more Through my time with Oscar Mayer, I believe that we were in the cradle of creating what good looks like for Marketing in the Foodservice Channel.
