Marie Wright Chief Global Flavorist Wild Flavors Inc
Marie Wright, Flavor Creation Manager - Global Accounts, International Flavors & Fragrances, believes that flavor creation is artistry rather than science, and perfection in art is truly challenging. Her inspirations are Monet, Matisse, British Vogue, BCBG, Pol Roger, Tanqueray and Tonic, Bloomies, Degas, Gassin, Sainte Rosseline, the bowl at Breckenridge, Harrison Stickle, and the Jungfrau. She has explored the globe, relishing any exquisite fare that chanced to pass her lips. She is also known for her love of adventure, recently sighted with her children jumping off the bridge in the bay of Sainte Tropez. Marie graduated with a first class honors degree in chemistry with food science from Kings College, London University, UK. She trained as a Flavorist with Bush Boake Allen, London advancing to Senior Flavorist targeting key accounts in Europe and Asia. This was followed by a move to the US and a new role as Flavor Creation Manager for Latin America, Mexico and the Caribbean. Marie then moved to IFF supporting the creative development for the global accounts. Marie has also worked for Tate and Lyle in Sensory Research. She currently resides in Princeton, NJ.
