About Me
Sanford M. Goldberg is a veteran leader in the food manufacturing industry, specializing in cheese products and food labeling with a proven track record of sales and marketing excellence in the B2B sector. With a passion for problem-solving and a competitive edge shaped by his background as an athlete, Sanford thrives in high-stakes environments—bringing in Class A customers like Sysco and Whole Foods and leading major resets and strategic sales initiatives.
Over the course of a 40-year career—which began at the age of 16—Sanford has remained deeply committed to the industry he loves. During his time at Saputo, he was instrumental in growing revenue sevenfold from $100 million to $700 million in just 10 years, solidifying his reputation as a transformative force in food manufacturing.
He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Print Journalism from Carroll University (1983), and credits his enduring drive to Shelly Krantz, an extraordinary mentor who helped shape his approach to leadership and industry growth.
Still passionate after four decades, Sanford is proud of his journey from “pennies to the country club market”, a testament to his resilience, curiosity, and tireless work ethic. In addition to helping his current company reach the next level, Sanford plans to launch a consulting firm, sharing the wisdom and strategies that have defined his long and successful career.
His philosophy is rooted in resilience, intelligence, and a genuine inquisitiveness—qualities that continue to fuel his impact in the dynamic world of food manufacturing.
