Rosalyn specializes in insights-based culinary innovation that spans across away-from-home and retail channels. Plant-based & flexitarian foods and beverage mixology have been her current focus in the kitchen, working with both Fortune 500 CPGs and top 200 foodservice operators to bring this sprouting trend to shelves and menus across the nation.
Much of her foodservice menu development was working and innovating directly with commercial and non-commercial operators to:
• Help expedite their menu development process and fill their LTO pipeline
• Ensure all menu and concept innovation can integrate seamlessly into existing operations and supply chain.
• Build strategic, long-term partnerships between operators and manufacturers for incremental business growth
Prior retail channel experience for Rosalyn includes ~8 years at PepsiCo, where she wore many hats, including Japanese Manufacturing Systems Analyst, Marketing Analyst, and Culinary R&D Chef. While working in R&D for PepsiCo, Rosalyn worked on global innovation projects, applying new proprietary technologies to develop gold-standard formulas and applications for product development, consumer testing, and commercialization.
