Pushing the Limits of Leadership
Datassential just turned the dial up on their commercial game plan. Yeah, the data maestros just announced two big moves up their leadership ladder that you can't ignore. Here's the drill: Megan Lynberg is now Executive Vice President of Sales, while Amanda Torgerson takes the Vice President of Account Management baton. It's a sharp pivot towards stronger, more customer-obsessed leadership.
The New Era of Sales
Megan Lynberg isn't just any name in the book. She's been in the trenches for over 15 years - six of those shaping up Datassential itself. Her track record? Steady as she goes, teaching and navigating through the highs and lows of foodservice data. She's not one to sit on her laurels; Lynberg's already talking up a future where AI transforms how customers out-innovate and outsell.
Megan Lynberg: "Today, I'm proud to lead it into a new era, one where AI makes our data faster, easier and more accessible for every customer trying to out-innovate and outsell their competition."
Jim Emling, the guy steering Datassential from the top, heaps praise on Lynberg, betting she's got the chops to tackle any hurdle. Knowing her history of rising to the occasion, that's a solid bet.
What Torgerson Brings to the Table
Joining the power train is Amanda Torgerson, stepping into the VP of Account Management shoes. With over a decade under her belt in market research and F&B account management, she's seen the ropes. And she's been playing ball with big names like Land O'Lakes and GALLO. Torgerson's focus? Not just data, but turning data into actionable insights that resonate with the clients she serves. She puts her money where her mouth is, focusing on building trust through a consultative approach.
Amanda Torgerson: "What clients need most isn't just more data, it's a partner who understands their business well enough to turn that data into action."
Backing It Up with Strategy
Emling didn’t shy away from acknowledging the strategic horsepower Torgerson packs. These promotions underscore not merely what these two have achieved, but the depth and breadth they bring to the table. It only amplifies Datassential's aim to bolster support as they scale up further.
An Eye on Growth
With Lynberg and Torgerson tandem-leading the charge, Datassential's setting sights on their next marathon of commercial growth. Expect a rigorous push to aid foodservice and consumer packaged goods outfits in scaling operations and drawing thicker ROI lines with Datassential's intelligence offerings.
A Platform to Bank On

As the globe’s go-to for food and beverage intelligence, they're arming brands, operators, and retailers with insights to weather the industry's volatile twists and turns. Datassential One—crafted for menu, consumer, and sales intelligence all wrapped in AI-powered analysis—has more than 90% of major players rallying behind it to stay on the front foot.
