She has served in many innovative and transformative roles within multiple Fortune 50 and startup companies. More recently, she held commercialization and regulatory roles in J&J;’s accelerator organization, World Without Diseases Accelerator.    Linda’s family lives with multiple severe life-threatening food allergies, she understands deeply the intense daily burden that a food allergy diagnosis has on a family. She's also spent the last 4 years learning about the science of this disease in industry and on her own. Because of this, she believes it is her life’s work to educate and help other families in the first year of baby’s life on ways to prevent their baby from ever developing this terrible disease of food allergies. She started bitebrave knowing that Her true inspiration is helping parents and baby be able to bitebrave-ly for the rest of their lives.
