For over 25 years, Robert’s expertise lay in food, nutrition, and health science. Applying this industry knowledge to make better products, processes, and policies, has become his forte. Early, as a director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s food ingredient assessment programs, he assessed and approved new ingredients and new technologies regarding safety, health, and consumer benefits. In addition, he spent his years delving into new food ingredients for use in products, packaging, and manufacturing applications. His later roles in food innovation for meeting dietary guidance and for creating disruptive products for food-focused wellness companies, helped him also specialize in advising clients on how to translate food and nutrition science and research to support new product development and innovation. As an executive in the food industry, he established standards for products and portfolios that maximized the investments in ingredients and technologies to deliver what consumers and health advocates demand. As the scope of his leadership roles progressed, he perfected the way he communicates complex and compressive data points to the average health-conscious customer.

On our end, we mine and coalesce all relevant research that supports a client’s individual food and nutrition product.
