Prepared Foods

As a mission-focused, strategic-minded leader with experience growing an organization, leading teams, and developing a performance culture, I understand what it takes to delight customers with great food and experiences.

Given my passion and exposure with great food and excellent companies, below are some keys to success I have employed.

  • Develop a food service culture “obsessed with fresh”
  • Customer service beyond “lip service” Be engaging and interactive.
  • Be innovative. Differentiate from the crowded field of competitors.
  • Create proof points
  • Make customer centric decisions
  • Create and maintain consistent standards and specifications
  • Create a simplified business model that continually improves quality while reducing costs
  • Promote healthier lifestyles
  • Employ sustainable business practices and demand the same from partners
  • Make the stores the first choice for all customers’ meal time and shopping needs
  • Better position departments to meet customers’ casual dining needs

My leadership style is to lead by example, and not micro-manage. I have been successful in surrounding myself with high performing people. I believe in hiring the right personalities and training the best behaviors. I’m well organized and understand success lies in the details. My project management skills are exemplary; having worked with very little resources to having dedicated project teams at my disposal. I am very comfortable in the kitchen or in the boardroom. I have worked side-by-side with some of the top talent in the industry.
Delivering outstanding food solutions is my passion.
