About Robert Roffey

I’m a hands-on, people-first operations executive who’s spent my career leading manufacturing and supply chain teams to higher performance, whether that means scaling production, building strong QA systems, or driving continuous improvement that sticks.I’ve led operations for fast-moving food and beverage companies ranging from $22M startups to a $3B Coca-Cola subsidiary. Regardless of the size or stage, my approach remains consistent: to create clarity, build capability, and focus on what drives results through continuous improvement. I believe in solving problems at their root, developing people along the way so they can be self-sufficient, and implementing systems that support long-term success, not just short-term gains.What sets me apart? A command of the details without getting lost in them. I connect strategy to execution in a way that builds confidence across teams, from the plant floor to the boardroom.What I Bring to the Table: • Lean manufacturing & continuous improvement expertise • Deep experience with co-manufacturing, engineering & maintenance, quality systems, and food safety • Operational leadership across beverage brewing, processing, and packaging (PET, glass, aluminum; aseptic, still, and carbonated) • Full P&L, S & OP, ERP, and CAPEX accountability • A coaching mindset focused on building high-performing, engaged teamsA Few Wins I’m Proud Of: • Fairlife (Coca-Cola): Helped the Goodyear, AZ plant hit 109%+ production attainment and improve OEE by 4% by standardizing processes and building a culture of CI and engagement. • Flying Embers: Turned around a failing QA program, built an in-house micro lab, solved a major microbial issue, and secured SQF certification while scaling 24/5 production. • MPL Brands: Delivered double-digit growth across a 50+ SKU RTD portfolio by expanding and strengthening our contract manufacturing network across the U.S. and Mexico. Added $16M of revenue to the portfolio. • Gordon Biersch: Scaled capacity through new brewing equipment and packaging lines, while building the org, supply chain, and SQF food safety system to support 24/7 operations. Added about 1.8x capacity and $22M of revenue.If you’re navigating operational challenges or looking to grow with the right systems and people in place, I’d love to connect.
