Bryan has spent 3 decades doing one thing exceptionally well: taking a great food idea and making it real—at scale in manufacturing pants, commercial kitchens, and ultimately in the hands of consumers.

That journey began in the lab at Danone, where Bryan developed a rigorous approach to product development rooted in engineering principles, consumer insights and market understanding—learning not just what performs technically, but what truly resonates with people. That discipline carried him to Taco Bell, where he helped identify and quantify the potential of what would become the Doritos Locos Taco, one of the most successful product launches in quick-service restaurant (QSR) history. It was early proof that the best innovations live at the intersection of sharp consumer insight and sound technical execution.

From there, Bryan tackled bigger, more complex challenges. As Vice President of Research and Customer Development at Surlean Foods—a custom manufacturing partner to major chain restaurants—he mastered the operational discipline required to build products that perform not just in a test kitchen, but on production lines and across thousands of restaurant locations simultaneously. As VP of Innovation at Keystone Foods, he applied that same rigor to a $2B+ business serving McDonald's and other marquee QSR accounts, while expanding capabilities into the emerging plant-based protein space. At Planterra Foods (JBS), he built an entire R&D function from the ground up, delivering a full portfolio of plant-based products to retail and food service channels in just 18 months.

At McKinsey & Company, Bryan broadened his perspective further—advising private equity firms, global food brands, and protein manufacturers across North America, LATAM, and EMEA on aligning strategy with technical and operational realities in a rapidly evolving market.

Now, he's bringing it all together in his own consulting practice—providing chain restaurants and food brands with direct access to senior R&D leadership that translates ambition into actionable products, and products into measurable business results.
