I am a results-driven technical and quality leader with nearly 30 years of experience in beverage manufacturing. My background spans beer, flavored malt beverages, ready-to-drink products, bottled water, carbonated soft drinks, and cannabis beverages.
I lead quality, food safety, commercialization, and operational improvement initiatives in fast-paced, high-risk manufacturing environments. I am experienced in building practical quality roadmaps, conducting gap analyses, and helping teams strengthen systems while maximizing internal talent.
I bring hands-on expertise in beverage processing, scale-up, commissioning, troubleshooting, product stability, flavor profiling, and microbial issue resolution. I use data and operational insights to improve yield, infusion efficiency, emulsion stability, equipment performance, and product consistency.
I have extensive experience with SQF, HACCP, GMP, SSOPs, traceability, preventive controls, risk mitigation, and regulatory compliance. I have partnered with co-manufacturers, suppliers, laboratories, and regulatory agencies to maintain food safety and quality standards.
I am known as a calm, trusted leader who communicates clearly, manages conflict effectively, and develops strong cross-functional partnerships. I enjoy coaching teams, solving complex technical problems, and delivering successful product launches and continuous improvement programs.
