View LinkedIn ProfileExecutive Overview
As the leader of Royal Canin North America, I am committed to making a better world for pets by bringing science-centered nutrition that delivers tangible health benefits to every cat and dog. Every day I leverage my knowledge of growing and scaling the business and do my best to motivate my employees and peers to promote every pet's well-being. With my 17+ years working in pet nutrition, I'm passionate about associate development, enterprise engagement, and equity, inclusion, and diversity (EI&D). In a previous role at Mars Pet Care, I was awarded Mars Canada's Line Manager of the Year for developing talent and a consistent high level of organizational engagement. I created and co-chaired Royal Canin USA's EI&D Council and mentor a diverse group of high potential talent. I am driven to bring out the best of my associates. My passion for lifting employees is matched only by my desire to create a better world for pets by offering them the best nutrition.
