Elohi Strategic AdvisorsFounder
Feb. 2015Greater Chicago AreaElohi Strategic Advisors uses its proprietary model to take your food or beverage company from zero to momentum. 85% of new products fail - regardless of the size or sophistication of the company. Why? Connecting a strategy grounded in customer, consumer, industry and competitive insights to an execution model crafted for that product is hard work and often means taking your eye off the part of the company that keeps the lights on. But innovation is key to growth. New product launches are fluid, occur in a specific moment and you only have one shot to get it right. Do it the right way. We can help. WBENC certified since 4/17/17
WOSB certified since 2018
Toad Hill FarmFarm Hand (aka Egg Gatherer, Berry Picker, Baby Goat Wrangler and Nanny Goat Milker)
Oct. 2014 - Nov. 2017Carbondale, ILFamily farm that started when a relative was diagnosed with cancer. It started as a hobby (five acres) and took on a life of its own (it grew to 40 acres). We raised Nubian goats and heritage red wattle hogs. We had several hundred laying chickens and once a year processed meat chickens for family consumption. We had beehives as my father was on call in the local community whenever a swarm was located. We raised strawberries and blackberries, sweet potatoes, corn, cabbage, tomatoes and peppers; the entire farm was antibiotic, hormone and pesticide free. We sold our excess at local farmers' markets where I learned two things: 1) it is extremely difficult to grow clean, healthy food for a profit and 2) every state should allow SNAP payments for produce and proteins at these local community markets.
