Our History

After years of interacting with people in food processing plants as an auditor, Alex became frustrated with being unable to offer solutions. He kept seeing the same boom and bust cycles and people bogged down by red tape. In 2013, Alex started Navigate Food Safety Solutions so he could work with companies directly to start fixing these issues from the inside out. Today, we manage a growing team who all believe in the same thing: helping people make food they can trust.
