I am an innovator and operational strategist who applies design thinking to identify challenges and develop scalable solutions through change management across the CPG industry. I am an early adopter of different AI/NLP models for a wide range of business applications.
As Founder and CEO of Alice & Bella CPG Beauty Brand, I've created and launched category-disrupting CPG e-commerce brand and utilized rapid prototyping to successfully launch 30+ SKUs, achieving profitability in the first year of operations.
At Starbucks Product Development, I pioneered an innovative system that revolutionized ready-to-eat food manufacturing production processes. Through the development and implementation of standardized training programs, product assembly specifications, and manufacturing controls, we successfully launched 13 new product SKUs across 18 co-packing production locations nationally, achieving record-high consumer satisfaction, production accuracy and quality compliance. This transformative work earned the R&D Thinking Man award.
In Global Quality, I led a nationwide transformation of RTE & RTD product quality & safety standards through change management and continuous improvement initiatives. By developing and implementing enterprise-wide quality frameworks across 21 co-manufacturing locations, we achieved a significant increase in product quality & a record drop to zero in product incidents over the three years. This achievement was recognized with the Starbucks Award.
My leadership approach combines strategic vision with hands-on execution - from leading cross-functional teams and conducting training workshops for 30+ employees to securing resources for large-scale implementations.
