Hi, I’m Merissa Lombardo the R&D Manager for Hela Spice North America. Over the years at Hela Spice, I’ve been able to work with many food categories and help our customers make their conceptualizations a reality. Food has always been about family and sharing, as I’ve grown into my career, I’ve been able to learn so much and grow my passion for food. I’m excited to be sharing these learnings with an audience of my fellow peers.
