I've spent 30 years in the protein procurement industry, most recently directing protein strategy for HelloFresh's US operations - managing $500M+ in annual spend across beef, poultry, pork, and seafood. Before that, I led purchasing and sourcing at D'Artagnan and spent over a decade in commodity procurement at AVA Pork. My career has been defined by building procurement functions that deliver measurable results: exceeding cost savings targets by 2x, maintaining zero service disruptions through COVID-19, ASF, and HPAI outbreaks, and developing proprietary models that generated $900K+ in COGS savings within six months. Today I run HighLine Consulting Group, where I help food companies with protein procurement strategy, market analysis, and go-to-market advisory. I'm also selectively exploring leadership opportunities where I can apply my expertise at scale.

I have been in the food service business for almost 50 years. My history taught me how to create great win-win situations with my customers, and with the people that work with me. Starting out at 8 years old, collecting and selling stamps, then moving on to operating a Dickie Dee cart , provided me with an early start in business. When I finally was old enough at 16 I got a job at McDonalds where they taught me how to open up and express myself. At 18 I bought my first business in the Lunch Truck industry. Over the next 20 years I learned how to dramatically expand and changed the industry with the press and creative marketing, which lead to a letter from a former Prime Minister of Canada, and an Entrepreneur of the Year Award. In the following 15 years I worked on moving the food service industry into the future by developing an online ordering system and daily delivery all across Ontario. Helping existing and creating new sandwich companies. At the same time co-partnering in an industry magazine. Over the past 10 years I helped to bring Micro Markets to Canada. We worked through all the initial challenges and brought it to where it is today. The best option for food service in the lunchrooms in the businesses of Canada. www.stomachman.com
