Huge shout-out to our VP of Quantitative Research & Consulting, Michelle Castle, and Senior Manager, Daisy Martinez, for absolutely crushing their presentation at The Quirk's Event Chicago! Along side the wonderful Maureen Windisch, Sr. Manager Business Insights and Data Analytics, Midwest Dairy.

They took the stage with Midwest Dairy and Dairy Max to review U.S. research into the habits and preferences of consumers who are actively engaged in adding protein to their daily diet. Bringing the perfect mix of high-level strategy and real-world application.

We’re so proud to have these two representing us and sharing our approach with the industry. Welcome home, team!
