SPEAKER
Holly Mensch, Smart Sweets
Holly’s career has essentially touched every home in America. Holly never imagined when she started her career that she would end up having worked on 30 food categories, across a diverse set of companies like blue-chip Fortune 500s (Kraft, Johnson & Johnson, Pepperidge Farm), challenger companies with challenger brands (Kettle Brand Kettle Chips, Dr. Pepper, Snapple, and Snyder’s Lance), startups, and food co-manufacturing.
She began her career in market research then moved into marketing and ultimately fell in love with innovation, managing all functions related to what she terms “food design”. These include marketing innovation, consumer insights, product development, regulatory, packaging engineering, and sensory science. Her latest work is incredibly exciting enabling her to bring her years of diverse experience and leadership to start-ups like Simple Mills and Smart Sweets that are transforming how we eat and helping them scale up their organizations, processes, and product portfolios.
