ABOUT JOSEPH STEPHENSON
14+ years of foodservice distribution/grocery retail experience with a strong drive to develop and deliver compelling narratives by leveraging data.In short I am a highly competent, creative, and data-driven professional with a passion for embracing the world of market research. My career path has provided a strong foundational knowledge of both foodservice distribution and grocery retail while working alongside Fortune 100 companies to better manage their portfolios across a variety of categories. Collaboration with individuals from various backgrounds is one feature I profoundly embrace in a every career opportunity. Taking initiative and ownership of my work has always been an instinctive trait but balanced out by an insatiable appetite to learn and help others excel in a team building environment. On a personal level I would brand myself a worldly scholar and a natural born leader. I am a dedicated hobbyist, lover of the arts, die hard foodie, and frequent concertgoer. I relish in staying on top of current events and enjoy traveling in my spare time.
