RANDY LEWIS

President and Founder, Global Natural Foods

Work smarter, not harder.

In 2004, I started Global Natural Foods with the idea that I could leverage my experience and expertise to deliver true value to my customers by doing things in a more efficient way than what I saw happening in the industry.

Before I jumped into the global supply industry, I studied international business and economics at York University in Toronto, where I’m originally from. And I’m proud to say that I now hold dual citizenship in the United States and Canada.

When I’m not working, I enjoy drinking the fine craft beer produced at Catskill Brewery, or fly-fishing one of the amazing rivers here in the the Catskills.

MIKE MCKEE

Business Development Manager

Finding solutions to your everyday challenges is my game.

I have 20 years experience in food and beverage, with stints in all aspects including supply chain management, procurement, contract manufacturing and production planning. I've experienced the pace at which my clients operate and I understand the logistics involved in delivering products in a competitive marketplace.

I love the family life. Simple things like taking my daughter to practice, or listening to my son's funny stories. I even coach little league.

MELISSA HOLDEN

Co-Founder and CFO

I oversee where the money goes.

I was the first employee of Global Natural Foods back in 2007 and I’ve seen us grow, both globally and naturally, over that time. I currently oversee the accounting and finance departments.

I put my Masters of Journalism to use as a journalist for CNN before switching to PR and marketing during the tech boom the early 2000s. I'm a staunch Canadian who eats maple syrup on my soft serve ice cream. But I’m so happy to be in the Catskills since 2005 growing a wonderful family and an honest company.

LORI ENDRISS

Logistics Manager

I get things from point A to point B, on time.

I joined Global Natural Foods in 2008 (has it been that long?!) I coordinate all the drays out of the ports and monitor customs and FDA releases. I also coordinate the trucks and keep things moving along.

I live the Catskill life when I’m not working. Fly-fishing, camping, motorcycling, snowmobiling. All the things.

TRISHA RAMPE

Regulatory Affairs/Documentation Manager

Are your ’T’’s crossed and your ‘I’’s dotted? I’ll make sure of it. Who needs samples? I do that too.

Global Natural Foods became my home back in 2011. I've been working closely with our customers and suppliers to make sure all of the regulatory documentation is in order and up to date.

I’m a sports mom and I love every minute of it. I also love living here in the Catskills and taking advantage of the outdoor lifestyle.
