As the Founder, CEO, and President of Fresh & Ready Foods (formerly Food Evolution), I've guided the company through continually changing markets for more than 20-years. Recognized for assessing, identifying, and facilitating differing priorities to consistently achieve sustained business value, growth, and profitability, I now serve as an investor, board member, and consultant.During my tenure, I:• Engineered an industry-leading team, including an award-winning chef, to propelling a $100K business to a $20M business over 12-years, which positioned the sale to a private equity firm. • Fostered, secured, and retained partnerships with leading companies (Caribou Coffee, HMS O'Hare, Walgreens, Trader Joe's, Starbucks, Wolfgang Puck, Mariano's Corner Bakery, United Airlines, and more), generating consistent growth. • Secured and sustained an exclusive prepared-food contract with O'Hare International Airport, which served as the national template for airport food kiosks. • Facilitated multiple mergers to grow and scale the company to the southeast, southwest, and west coast.• Elevated food production safety and increased distribution by opening three local and national USDA and FDA facilities that exceed government regulatory laws.
