Source-to-Shelf Networked Ecosystem Provider Appoints European Regional Sales Director, Launches AI-Powered Compliance Solution and Tops 'FoodTech 500' List

WESTMINSTER, Colo., April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TraceGains, the leading provider of compliance, quality, and innovation solutions for the food and beverage (F&B) industry, today announced it has outperformed in Q1 across multiple areas including its leadership team, global presence, technology innovation and business performance. TraceGains' string of accomplishments includes: the appointment of Michelle Henry as Regional Sales Director to oversee growth in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (DACH market), recognition as #31 on the global 2024 FoodTech 500 list, a new AI-powered Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) solution and record-breaking attendance at its annual Together conference.

Michelle joins TraceGains from Esko, a Veralto company and global provider of integrated software and hardware solutions that accelerate the go-to-market process of packaged consumer products. She previously held the role of Sales Manager for EMEA Brands. At TraceGains, she will focus on new hires in Europe, rapidly expanding regional sales coverage, and scaling European revenues for TraceGains and Esko's integrated source to shelf solution for unified product and packaging innovation.

"With the power of Veralto behind us, we are fast-tracking market expansion and growth to help global F&B brands manage today's supply chain challenges and regulatory nuances," said Gary Iles, SVP of Marketing and Business Development at TraceGains. "We're fortunate to have Michelle's leadership to accelerate our vision of helping food and beverage brands solve real-world challenges using the most advanced technology available such as AI and creating a source to shelf ecosystem that help brands remain agile amidst unforeseen economic challenges that may lie ahead."

"Joining the TraceGains team is an amazing opportunity to build on the company's rapid growth in Europe as global F&B brands look for integrated, end-to-end solutions to improve the integrity and resilience of their global supply chains," said Michelle Henry. "Alongside the TraceGains team, I look forward to helping European F&B brands ensure product safety, regulatory compliance and sustainability while achieving their business goals."

Following its largest ever annual Together conference drawing 3,200 registrants, the company unveiled Intelligent Document Processing – a vertically tailored AI-powered solution optimized for the industry built on OpenAI and enhanced with a proprietary knowledge layer derived from decades of contextual F&B data unique to TraceGains. The solution streamlines Certificate of Analysis (COA) processing, replacing manual 'stare and compare' methods to ensure a product's compliance in terms of quality, performance, and safety.

In March 2025, TraceGains was also recognized by ForwardFooding as #31 on the global 2024 FoodTech 500 list, which highlights companies that are acting as a force of good for creating a brighter future of food.
