“I first met Heather when I was a finalist for Grow NY. My immediate impression was that she was supportive, easy to talk to, and encouraging. I enjoyed spending time with her. Fortunately, when I became a member of Rev: Ithaca Startup Works, Heather was assigned as my Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR). During that time, Heather expertly coached me through a pivotal point in Edenesque’s journey.
Heather is amazing and a true expert. She possesses deep business knowledge in areas such as forecasting, sales, and management. She is savvy, brilliant, creative, measured, and professional, with extensive experience in creating and building a brand from concept to successful exit. More importantly, Heather is kind and approachable, allowing me to be vulnerable and share without judgment. I deeply appreciate her intuitive guidance and am truly grateful to have her as an advisor.”

As a CPG entrepreneur there are innumerable topics you need to become an expert on. Heather’s been through all of it—managing perishable inventory, raising funds, building food safety plans, and selling omnichannel through perishable supplies chains. She can coach you while listening with great empathy, often helping find solutions during a coaching session through conversation. When she doesn’t have an answer, she’s well-resourced in the community to go and get it.
Heather is a great ally to have on the Journey, and she’s helped us think through many challenges and issues as we scaled up. I highly recommend working with her!

“When our agritech startup was struggling to scale our operations efficiently and setup operations in New York, we were grateful to have Heather's guidance and mentorship. She demonstrated a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by companies in the agtech sector, and the agricultural supply chain landscape in New York. Heather guidance proved invaluable in streamlining our operations and logistics, and in introducing us to the right professionals to help get setup in New York State. Thank you Heather for all your insights and guidance!”

I have had the privilege of working with Heather during the critical early stages of launching my business. Her experience and vast network of connections are invaluable assets. What truly sets Heather apart is her exceptional ability to actively listen to the challenges I met and ask thought-provoking questions. Through these conversations, she has guided me to explore innovative solutions and find answers that aligned with my business vision.
Heather’s patience and support were instrumental in boosting my confidence. During moments of frustration, she encouraged me to persevere and provided practical strategies to overcome obstacles. Her commitment to keeping me on track and accountable to my goals was motivating.
Moreover, Heather’s sage counsel played a pivotal role in problem-solving. She not only identified potential roadblocks but also presented a range of options and introduced me to valuable resources. Without her guidance, I would have spent significantly more time navigating the complexities of entrepreneurship.
In summary, Heather is an exceptional mentor who combines expertise, empathy, and strategic thinking. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any aspiring entrepreneur seeking personalized guidance and actionable insights.

There’s no other way to say it. Without Heather’s vision and operations leadership, our CPG line of Non-GMO, pasture raised deli meats, charcuterie, sausages, bone broths and fresh cuts never would have grown from sales at our local farmers’ market to national distribution and significant penetration in 26 states before our business sale and exit.
Heather was truly the visionary in our concept to shelf growth. She conducted the market research, conceptualized the product line, spearheaded the marketing designs and led the go to market plan. She was the general manager for our USDA facility and established relationships with key distributors and retailers to drive growth. She was our social media voice and customer advocate. If you’re planning to bring any type of CPG to market or expand your product lines, Heather is absolutely the right person to have on your team!
