“Disagree thoughtfully when appropriate and stand your ground. Diverse perspectives are essential to how innovative products get made.” — Stephanie Jack of Bowery Farming
Stephanie Jack’s parents met while working at Heinz — specifically, when her mother was auditing her father’s department. She grew up visiting the company’s food processing facilities, in awe of her behind-the-scenes access to the creation of her favorite packaged goods. And one of her most vivid childhood memories involves helping her father with an emergency sweet-and-sour sauce packet explosion.
Jack earned a business degree at Wake Forest University to prepare herself to pursue this career and then landed her dream first job at Frito-Lay . The genuine passion she displayed for the industry convinced the hiring managers that she’d excel in the marketing analyst role, and they were right. She spent nearly four years with the company.
After a stint in the beauty world, Jack missed working in food and found herself drawn to mission-driven brands, so she jumped at the opportunity to join the product marketing and innovation team at, a company dedicated to vertical farming, a practice of growing crops in stacked layers, often in a controlled environment. Bowery cultivates its produce in tech-powered indoor farms just outside major cities, so the greens don’t have to travel far to get to the table.
Three and a half years after coming on board, Jack now oversees the development and optimization of Bowery’s product portfolio, which includes a variety of leafy greens and herbs. Here, she shares her path to this position, the aspects of her job that she loves most, and how vertical farming is changing the way we eat.I am the director of product marketing and innovation on the commercial team at Bowery. I lead the leafy greens and herbs portfolio, which is Bowery’s core business.
