“How do you remain relevant with consumers who have different expectations?” This question is always on the mind of VP of research and development, Heather Boggs, who recently sat with us to talk about her role at Ferrara. Heather oversees the creation of our seasonal and sugar confections, where her team seeks to identify trends that allow our brands – which have spanned generations – to play with unique textures, unexpected flavor profiles, new formats, and memorable experiences. At the end of the day, though, she said it’s important to ask, “Fundamentally, what is just fun?” If evolving our iconic brands to meet consumer demand sounds like the career for you, explore our available opportunities: http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vMtqQ
