Why I started CJB and Associates?

"After a very successful career as SVP R&D for Global PepsiCo foods, I decided it was time to do something I had been wanting to do for a long time. Namely, starting my own consulting company. So, I cashed in my options and started CJB and Associates. I saw the need for companies to be able to leverage external solution providers, especially for research and development and innovation, without all the layers of decision making that big companies inevitably must deal with. As a result, we can help companies move from idea to commercialization or as we like to say from Chef-to-Shelf™. Further,z we achieve a high hit rate because we're able to bring in the right highly experienced experts for the job."
