Outside of her professional achievements, Judi is an engaging public speaker on food safety culture and crisis management. In June 2023, she led a well-received session for World Food Safety Day—offering practical strategies to boost food safety culture across operations.

In her new capacity as VP of Sales, Judi is positioned to drive AIB’s global outreach, forging robust partnerships with food, beverage, packaging, and distribution leaders worldwide. Her vision: to elevate AIB’s market presence by blending evidence-based services with market-savvy engagement—one audit, one certification, and one client at a time.
