Profile Summary

Independent Consultant. In some cases, I'll submit a $1 (free) proposal and request a conversation. We can discuss for 10 mins free and I will even send you a NDA prior if you prefer (just ask). If you think I am a good fit or you just have some questions that go deeper you can hire me hourly unless it's a full project and if so I will submit my monthly fee price. My expertise is in product development, formula creation and supplier sourcing for beverages, food, and confection. I have twenty years of product development and flavor technology experience along with package insight, consumer goods and launching of new to market across categories. I will develop your product and focus on ingredient selection and quality along with process, compliance and product stability. I have an accelerated storage chamber to ensure your ingredients are the most stable and highest of quality. I can assist at any given stage of your project from concept to post launch. I am a driven and qualified professional. A project will cost 6000 per month and that is not negotiable. Please do not invite me on a project until you have reviewed my bio and can afford the price. A lot of work and time goes into launching a new product to market and I want it to be perfect and stable. We will kick off and I will take your vision and create a product for you that is market ready for you to obtain your proof of concept. I don't manufacture but I can assist sourcing of a contract manufacturer if you wish. You also need a good legal advisor. I do not advise on legality matters but I can offer some insight and connect you with an expert. You will likely need somebody from FDA to approve your process prior to going to a contract manufacturer. I have connections for that. Thanks for the consideration.
