I’ve known Ed for a long time, both through Cornell as well as through some consulting work we did together on a fun project that, unfortunately, never got traction. (It was brilliantly conceived by the client, but just too early.) I just wanted to take a moment here to recognize his achievements and contributions to education and the retail business in general. It always has been a pleasure to spend time at Cornell when I’ve been privileged to be asked, and see how terrific a program he has helped build there.
My only problem with this is that Ed is way too young to be retiring … but I am assured by mutual friends that he will continue to be involved with several food industry projects.
