I am a strong proponent of coaching and mentorship as a way for industry experts like myself to pass their knowledge on to the next generation. Just as I was fortunate enough to benefit from mentors and coaches throughout my career, I am now paying it forward as a coach and mentor in formal and informal capacities for companies and individuals.
Leap Strategic
I am a paid coach at Leap Strategic, a group of food industry specialists dedicated to coaching and mentoring food and beverage companies to take their businesses to the next level. We provide road mapping, coaching, and networking connections to help companies achieve their goals.
Food Starter
I am also a mentor at Food Starter, a company dedicated to promoting entrepreneur’s chances of success in commercializing food products. I use my 25+ years of food industry expertise, particularly from starting my own consultancy, Concept to Shelf, to help these budding and established entrepreneurs.
District Ventures
I have started working with District Ventures, a business accelerator venture capital fund, where I will be sharing my knowledge with entrepreneurs of smaller companies, specifically those in the consumer and packaged goods industry.
