Background

About John Fishel

Combining my background as a chemist with business, I've built my career leading successful research and development (R&D) initiatives in the beverage and health industries. My expertise translates innovation into market success and drives growth for FONA and McCormick. As the Vice President of McCormick's Beverage & Health business units, I lead and guide a dedicated team of 47 professionals throughout North America. Together, we are committed to redefining industry standards by crafting exceptional flavor experiences and fostering a culture of opportunity, growth, and change. My approach combines close teamwork, creative problem-solving, and an entrepreneurial mindset to position McCormick as a leader in the flavor industry. I believe in the transformative effect of forging strong connections—linking research to practical applications and helping our customers find the exact solutions that align with their products. I'm keen to collaborate with those eager to influence the future of taste. Beyond McCormick, I enjoy various outdoor activities and making memories with my family through travel, adventures, and making the most of every day.
