Dr. Shipp is eager to join the team and help companies apply the Feedworks USA product portfolio in the most effective ways. “A key aspect of what I do is help my customers beyond what a product is or what it does, so that they get the most benefit from it,” says Dr. Shipp. “Nutrition is a science and an art. Therefore, it’s vital to ask the right questions to fully understand the customer needs to offer solutions that position them for success.”
