Background

About Nathan Smith

I manage client relationships and business needs while bringing flavor, delivery systems, technologies and passion to their products. I am comfortable and experienced working across a broad range of categories and applications within the flavor and food industry, with clients ranging from Large global CPG to regional "start-ups". I pride myself on my Emotional intelligence and my ability to communicate and lead effectively. I particularly enjoy creative problem resolution and relationship management roles. In addition to my interpersonal skills I also have a strong background in sourcing, supply chain and S & OP within the Flavor industry. I believe this experience and understanding allows me to not only connect with my clients creatively, but also help commercialize successful concepts while maintaining a focus on supply chain optimization and partnering with our clients to drive efficiency. When not working you can expect to find me actively pursuing and participating in my family life as well as fitness and general health / wellness. Do not be surprised to find me 'flexing' my culinary muscles in the kitchen. I love to discover, create and cook for friends and family to enjoy. Specialties: International Business practices, Sales and marketing, Negotiations and project management. Cross national communications, Raw materials Forecast improvement, supply chain optimization, Process creation/execution, service optimization, SAP.
