Michael Foley, founder and CEO of Food & Supply Source, will be joining our NHEx group to discuss his extensive experience in food processing and procurement. Drawing from his journey starting FoodSource Plus in 1999—born from his recognition that the human service sector was underserved and overcharged—Michael will share how he built the business by negotiating better terms with distributors, developing in‑house software tools like NutriSource, and expanding into non‑food supplies with SupplySource prnewswire.com+2foodandsupplysource.com+2linkedin.com+2. He’ll delve into the operational challenges of managing food processing and supply chains, the importance of efficiency and nutrition tracking, and how technology integration can transform procurement strategies. Michael’s talk promises practical insights into streamlining processes, optimizing costs, and leveraging data-driven solutions to enhance food service operations in mission‑driven organizations.
