In this episode we invite Gail Francis, a fellow food industry creative expert, to join the conversation. After connecting with Gail on Linkedin, we quickly discovered she had followed a very similar path to working her way up the ladder in the food industry, taking on roles with more responsibility but this ending up being to the detriment of her own health. We talk about how she overcame these hurdles and carved out a career doing what she loves. Gail’s career has a real breadth to it, from starting as a technologist at Campden to becoming a Global Commercial Director working with the large Food Service brands. Gail is a foodie creative through and through but learnt the hard way that creativity alone is not enough to have a great career in Food. These are some of the many things “she wish she had known”:- that emotional intelligence, building your tribe and people are what make for success.
