Our History

Tim Forrest was introduced to food and CPG distribution, systems, processes, and branding while working on food loading docks in college. He then spent the next decade in executive sales and marketing roles for some of the world’s largest food brands, including Unilever and Nestle.

He founded Tim Forrest Consulting in 1997, with initial projects for Rite-Aid Drugstores and an ice cream distributor on the island of Puerto Rico. Since then, Tim’s consulting projects have contributed to major successes for his clients, including many with 100%+ year-over-year growth rates.
