Experience
Vice President - Global Manufacturing Services
Mar 2019 — Present · Chicago, IL, US
At Griffith Foods, we Blend Care and Creativity to Nourish the World. Our founders blended their unique strengths to start Griffith, a company that serves the world through better food. They knew that just like combining different ingredients in a recipe, blending care and creativity in the field, in the kitchen, and in the boardroom leads to better results. Being a family business, we know Nourishment doesn’t just come from what’s on the plate, but from what’s in the heart. From farmers to customers, the relationships we form with our partners allow us to create better products to satisfy and delight a variety of tastes around the globe. In a changing world that’s hungry for more, our Care and Creativity means we’ll find the right mix of global reach and local impact to serve the earth so we can nourish all of us who call it home. I have the privilege to serve as Global Leader of Manufacturing Services, which includes Engineering, CapEx, Climate Actions & EMS, and Engineering Innovation. After successfully transforming the Engineering Services, I now passionately lead the technological advancement of food blending processes, accelerating the implementation of the Purpose-driven strategy of Griffith Foods. With me is a team of highly skilled & strong professional engineers and specialists, covering all operational countries around the world. We use creativity as the key ingredient to problem-solving and care in engineering solutions for the bottom of the pyramid. Griffith Foods is headquartered in Alsip, IL, and operates in over 40 countries, located on five continents. Our success in helping our partners is only possible through outstanding employees who are driven by our Purpose.
