I help food technology companies commercialize novel ingredients and products. Fermentation, plant-based, cultivated, functional — from science to scalable manufacturing.
Services
Lab to commercial scale. Process development, scale-up strategy, regulatory pathway.
Tech transfer, co-man selection, process parameters, and quality systems that hold.
FDA pathways, GRAS, novel food submissions, labeling. Fast and compliant.
Stability, texture drift, yield loss, microbial issues. Root cause → fix → scale.
Formulation to shelf. Clean label, co-man readiness, specs, and launch support.
Senior food science leadership without the full-time hire. Pipeline, team, vendors.

About
I commercialize food technologies. I've taken novel proteins from a lab bench to hundreds of millions of units on shelves — across plant-based, cultivated, and fermentation platforms.
Former Director of Food Science at Eat Just. Former FDA researcher. I've been on the factory floor, in the regulatory meetings, and in the pilot plant at 2 AM when the batch fails.
I don't advise from the sidelines. I embed with your team and stay until the process runs clean at scale.
