Consulting Services for a Sustainable Food Future

I’m passionate about all things food—the people who grow it, create the tools to prepare it, cook it, and serve it. As the former CEO and Editor-in-Chief of StarChefs, I’ve spent my career helping the food, beverage, and culinary industries innovate, solve problems, and evolve. Now, in my next chapter, I’m bringing this experience into a more purpose-driven consulting practice focused on sustainability, food justice, and tackling the global food crisis.

I’ve worked with top-tier brands like Jade Range, Breville-Polyscience, Steelite, Vitamix, and Niman Ranch to build foodservice brands, launch new products, and create marketing campaigns that resonate and stand the test of time. My expertise lies in crafting growth strategies, building impactful relationships with culinary influencers, and guiding organizations on their sustainability journeys.

If you're looking to make a meaningful impact, reduce waste, and create long-term value, I can help.
