At LALA Foods, I lead commercialization and margin enhancement initiatives, aligning innovation priorities with business objectives and go-to-market strategies. I designed and implemented five-stage and accelerated three-stage Stage-Gate frameworks to establish commercialization governance and cross-functional accountability.
I also develop customer-facing sales presentations and manage product catalogs and commercial content. I established centralized project documentation through SharePoint, implemented a Digital Asset Management platform, and standardized SAP product setup processes.
At Teasdale Latin Foods, I led innovation, renovation, and commercialization initiatives across product categories. I developed customer-facing sales materials and managed product information and documentation to support product launches and cross-functional handoffs.
Earlier, I led food product development and commercialization at Land O’ Lakes, Rembrandt Foods, Pinnacle Foods, and Michael Foods. My work included developing cheese powders and seasonings using spray drying technologies, managing product development from formulation through commercial production, and supporting food safety and quality programs at The Schwan Food Company.
