Background

About Jonathan Trock

Strategic Growth Architect specializing in CPG and specialty foods, with 15+ years of demonstrated success in turning operational challenges into market opportunities. I operate best in environments where leadership means rolling up sleeves, not titles - where trust is built through transparency, not hierarchy. My work lives at the intersection of data and action: I dissect complex supply chains to pinpoint waste, rebuild sales strategies for emerging product categories, and secure shelf space in national retailers through relentless execution. When margins demand surgical precision, I deliver results by combining forensic cost analysis with hands-on team collaboration. What Defines My Approach - Radical Transparency: I replace gatekeeping with open-roadmap leadership - Cost Alchemy: Transform supply chain inefficiencies into profit drivers - Launch Mastery: From Amazon Grocery to Sprouts, I crack the code for new product adoption - Team Physics: Build cultures where collaboration compounds results Recent Impacts Redesigned Mini Potato supply chain to achieve cost reduction while maintaining a 97% service level - Supply: negotiated increased volume for 7.7% price per unit reduction - Inbound: substituted intermodal in place of trucking for 31.1% freight savings - Materials: condensed vendors and product offerings for 12.5% cheaper boxes - Packing: synchronized palletization from supplier to customer for 28% lesser charges - Outbound: combined multi-day deliveries to direct shipment for 10.9% freight savings Spearheaded national launch strategy resulting consecutive 3-year 200% YOY growth Drove the purchase, inventory flow and sale of 100+ SKUs to 7 DCs—maximized margin, minimized waste, and owned the supply chain end-to-end
