Bio
Michelle Hayward
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Gary for over two decades. Gary possesses real experience that spans the life-span of a product. He speaks fluently about farm techniques and engineering; just as easily, he frames up a brand positioning, consumer learning journey or go-to market strategy. He is tireless in his pursuit of excellence. As a colleague or partner agency, Gary makes the journey of getting a product to market such a great experience for all.
Stan Darger, Jr.
I have worked with Gary throughout his career, beginning at Weight Watchers Foods for H.J. Heinz Company. I would hire him without delay if I were in need of someone with an ability to see a vision, think creatively, bring ideas to life, lead a diverse team and give much more than asked. He is bright, well spoken and a strong communicator. He will successfully carry a heavy load. Beyond that, his character is way up there. He made substantial contributions at Heinz and again at J R Simplot Company and will again. You can't go wrong with Gary.
