I’m Dr Chris Goodsall founder of Canopy R&D.

I’ve set up Canopy R&D to provide flexible, high-impact support across all aspects of Food R&D & Innovation. Ready to step in whenever help is needed and delivering results that make a difference.

Whether you're short on experienced R&D leadership, need strategic clarity, stuck in a project, or simply want to talk over an issue and get a fresh perspective-Canopy is here to help.

I have 30 years experience in FMCG R&D, with experience ranging from bench scientist to leadership roles, managing teams across Europe. I’ve worked in background Research, Innovation/NPD, Expert Areas and cross-functional business change projects such as Brexit preparations & M&A/Integration.

My aim with Canopy R&D is to use that experience and expertise to help solve challenging and complex problems, providing expert resource and minimising distractions and un-necessary complications.

Whatever the challenge, please reach out for a no obligation initial consultation & Canopy R&D will be happy to help.
