“I had the pleasure to work with Tiffany on a project with a leading human grade pet food company in Canada. She demonstrated her skills and operates in a methodical and pragmatic approach to helping bridge customers from start up to commercial scale. Tiffany can help navigate between regulatory, development work, and quality assurance while educating the customer in simple terms to help gain alignment to move ahead. I would highly recommend anyone to Tiffany who are starting in the food production space and are in pilot stage and need to scale up quickly.”

Tiffany’s knowledge of the canola supply chain, her collaboration with Cargill’s growers and marketers, and her passion for the food industry were critical in the development of the program.”
