Co-Founder & CEO

As CEO of Curious Futures and founder of FoundHer Forward, I work with entrepreneurs to answer the one question that’s keeping them up at night. Whether you’re trying to scale, secure funding, or figure out how to hit that launch date without losing your mind, I’m the one you call when you’re ready to get real answers and make moves. With 25 years of experience, in the future of food, CPG, health and wellness, I stay ahead of tech trends and economic shifts, and I’m all about helping founders - especially women - turn their business challenges into growth opportunities.

Investor Due Diligence

There are exciting new developments in food and beverage products due to emerging technologies. However, tried and true methods such as food safety, compliance and the best facility for operations still apply and can affect return on investment if not analyzed diligently.

Let's connect

We have over 25 years experience bringing new ideas from the white board to the customer's hand. We want to see your vision become reality, and support you on your journey.

The first step is a no-cost, no-obligation conversation.
