Advise on sector-specific themes such as supply chain and traceability, commodity price volatility and hedging strategy, farm-to-fork value chain optimization, food safety and regulatory compliance, sustainability/ESG, and go-to-market strategy for branded and private-label products
Leverage prior industry (non-consulting) experience to bring practical, implementation-ready perspectives that pure consulting backgrounds often lack

Lead and mentor junior consultants and project teams
Contribute to practice-building initiatives: methodologies, IP development, thought leadership, and recruiting
Collaborate cross-functionally with partners/directors on account strategy and firm-wide initiatives
