Heinz, I worked at Heinz World Headquarters, as well as three divisions, including, Heinz USA, Heinz UFE, and Weight Watchers International I began my Heinz career at Heinz USA overseeing a $100 million portfolio of various shelf-stable food products. After two years, I joined Heinz World Headquarters Corporate Planning, where I was responsible for the evaluation of domestic acquisition proposals.

In 1989, I transferred into a senior management position at Weight Watchers International. While there, I had domestic responsibility for the development and marketing of Weight Watchers International’s various weight loss services generating revenues of $435 million.
