Enhance Systems:
Streamline inventory, vendor, and fulfillment processes. Evaluate current tools and implement improvements that drive scale and reduce inefficiencies.
Grow the Business:
Expand our mobile and retail ice cream distribution channels. Identify new markets, build customer relationships, and create repeatable growth strategies.
Own Financial Performance:
Oversee P&L, AR/AP, and budgeting. Track KPIs and work with ownership to meet and exceed performance targets.
Develop Talent:
Mentor and train staff, build organizational redundancy, and ensure your team has the structure and support to thrive.

Partner with facilities and compliance leaders to maintain a high-functioning, safe, and audit-ready operation.
