After working on Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign, with a mission to improve the health in communities worldwide, Chris quickly realized that change has to come from all sectors. In December 2018, Chris joined Ocean Spray, a farmer owned cooperative, on a mission to unite sectors towards a common goal for healthy people and a healthy planet. As Head of Global Corporate Affairs for the past five months, one of her first initiatives was announcing a commitment to sustainably farming all of its cranberries, making Ocean Spray the first fruit cooperative in North America to verify 100% of its crop as sustainably grown. Chris is also responsible for dedicating all of the product portfolio to the nonprofit sector in a way to help drive impact from that arm of our communities, from PINK on breast cancer research, to a partnership with St. Jude’s.
