I have a deep love and enthusiasm for achieving win-win outcomes through positive relationships. I thrive in client-, vendor-, or peer-facing situations, and I am comfortable in front of any audience, from C-suite to consumers. Whether interacting directly with customers or conducting a training session with personnel, my expertise and passion for great product is contagious and inspirational. I learn the details about products because the details matter. I make sure those details are right so everyone is on the same level.I write and speak frequently on community organization & public education advocacy, as well as local, regional, and global food & beverage trends, techniques & culture.Consultation services are available on the following topics:* Go-to-Market strategy (wholesale/retail)* Food & beverage operations* Craft beer & brewing* Draft beer systems* Fine wine menu development & food pairing* Lean inventory management* Community Business Development* Marketing, writing, and communicationSpecialties: Sales, procurement, management, social media, product knowledge, education, training, networking, creative, consumer insights, implementation, retail, craft beer, food & beverage, gourmet, organic, natural, copy writing, copy editing, public speaking.
