      Feb 2001 - Sept 2019

      I was primarily focused on the development of nutritional products, creating timelines and providing expertise on all project elements, fully supporting the global pipeline of products. I interfaced with many departments and worked in cross-functional teams to advanced projects, providing leadership throughout. This also involved the interpretation and reporting of results of experiments and sensory tests often through statistical analysis. I managed, designed, organized, and monitored bench-top, pilot plant, and industrial experiments. I also ascertained new packaging which allowed greater shelf life of probiotics and increased shelf life. Working directly with our Purchasing team, I executed on cost saving opportunities through new vendors and existing raw material consolidation. Finally, I worked directly with co-manufacturers to conceptualize and develop product prototypes. Show less
