Our aggressive new product pipeline was made possible only because of the creativity, practicality and responsiveness of Kerin and her team. Her expertise on the development side in a broad number of food categories and her knowledge of the startup production phase and potential co-packers resulted in a portfolio of differentiated products that have proven to be successful with our consumer base.
