Food Optimization = Business Optimization

Product Development  |  Food R+D

FIELDS OF GOLD CONSULTING provides highly efficient, well designed, and economical solutions to R&D challenges in the food and beverage categories, whether they are for completely new opportunities or for existing products.

 

The firm was started in 2010 by Steve Leusner, following his successful and richly diversified career within the CPG industry that spans a unique platform of R&D, engineering and venturing roles.

 

Fields of Gold uniquely understands the business challenges entrepreneurs and corporate innovation teams face with the development of new concepts and products. During Steve’s tenure with General Mills, he spent three years with Sherbrooke Capital assessing potential investment or acquisition opportunities on behalf of the company, from a scientific perspective. This experience provided him invaluable, deep experience and insight into how successful products are created, nurtured and eventually sold.

 

Fields of Gold brings that unique experience, network, and insight to all of its engagements in a way that clearly distinguishes it from firms that are solely preoccupied with scientific process, detached from other considerations.
