Food Science Professional | Alternative/Plant-Based R&D, Technical Sales, Commercialization Strategy

Profile Summary

My career to-date has spanned b2b, b2c, and non-profit channels, where I’ve specifically focused on the development of food products incorporating alternative proteins (in the form of plants and fungi). I'm passionate about the next generation of meat, egg, and dairy products and the role plant proteins, their co-products, and the inherent qualities of their whole ingredients will play. Expertise includes: - Recipe/formulation development (scale-considerate) / - Compliance with: Natural/Clean label, Organic, Non-GMO & PV / - Extrusion (twin-screw) / - Ingredient expertise (emphasis on plant proteins and their co-products) / - Ingredient sourcing / - Contract manufacture sourcing / - Logistical landscape for launch optimization/strategy / - Characterizing ingredients for food applications / - Designing and executing experiments related to ingredient functionality / - Food scientist insight for product compliance with marketing claims / - Technical writing: Creation of original content spanning research reports, white papers, product narratives, presentations, and market-facing materials / Website: www.farescience.com
