Industry specialty
Food & Beverage Supply Chain Consulting
The food & beverage supply chain has its own rules — perishability, recalls, formulas, compliance, razor-thin margins. Work with a consultant who has lived all of them at global scale.
Food and beverage isn't generic manufacturing. Shelf life, traceability, formula and recipe management, food-safety regulation, and unforgiving margins make it one of the most demanding supply chains there is. Generic operations advice doesn't cut it.
Cristian Stelea spent 30 years at The Coca-Cola Company solving exactly these problems — across quality, product lifecycle management, data, and digital strategy in supply chains spanning 200+ markets. Stelytics brings that depth to growing food & beverage businesses as an independent advisor, not a big firm with junior teams and big overhead.
Where Cristian helps
Every engagement starts with your actual problem, not a fixed package.
Quality & food safety
Build management systems and traceability that make compliance routine and audits painless (HACCP, FSMA).
Product & formula data
Get formulas, specs, and bills of materials into a governed system your whole team can rely on.
Digital & analytics
Turn production and supply-chain data into visibility and decisions — from reporting to digital twins.
What changes
- Quality and compliance become predictable instead of stressful.
- You can scale SKUs, plants, and partners without things breaking.
- Decisions get made on data you actually trust.
- Your team keeps the capability after the engagement ends.
Independent senior expertise — not a big firm
The large food & beverage consultancies staff engagements with junior consultants and bill accordingly. With Stelytics you work directly with a former Coca-Cola executive from the first conversation to the last — senior judgment, faster decisions, and a fraction of the overhead.
Based in Atlanta and serving food & beverage companies across the Southeast and the United States, on-site or remotely depending on what the work needs.

What does a food & beverage supply chain consultant do?
They help food and beverage companies improve how products move from sourcing to shelf — covering operations, quality and food safety, product and formula data, compliance, and the digital tools that support all of it. The goal is fewer disruptions, lower cost, reliable quality, and the ability to scale without breaking.
Do you only work with large companies?
No — the focus is growing mid-market food & beverage and manufacturing companies that are feeling real supply-chain complexity but don't have a former Fortune-50 executive in-house. Engagements range from a single diagnostic to ongoing fractional leadership.
Are you based in Atlanta? Do you travel?
Yes — Cristian is based in Atlanta, Georgia and works closely with companies across the Southeast, as well as clients across the U.S. Work happens on-site or remotely depending on the engagement.
