From Concept to $540K+ in Annual Launch Revenue
THE BUSINESS QUESTION
How do you move a promising food concept through the decisions required for a commercially meaningful launch?
THE INSIGHT
Strong innovation is not one breakthrough moment. It is a sequence of aligned choices across consumer need, product design, operations, and the customer proposition. Weak handoffs between those choices are where good ideas lose value.
THE APPROACH
I connected concept development with commercialization: clarifying the need, shaping the product, coordinating cross-functional constraints, and keeping the business case visible through launch.
THE RESULT
The work contributed to more than $540K in annual launch revenue, with another customer-approved product anticipated at $1.44M annually. It demonstrates my ability to carry insight beyond the presentation and into execution, where category growth is actually created.
