Fractional Role
Ideal for organizations seeking regular ongoing expertise from a seasoned food scientist & product developer, tailored to fit its unique needs and budget.
This option caters to mid-sized CPG brands ready for scale and in need of expert R&D support. It's equally suitable for contract manufacturers seeking innovative product solutions for current or prospective clients, including private label offerings. Both groups benefit from access to an experienced R&D professional without the long-term commitment of a full-time employee.
