About Jonah Greenbaum-Shinder
I’m Jonah Greenbaum-Shinder, founder of JKGS Consulting in Ottawa. My career has centred on production: theatre, manufacturing and food production.

What I bring
Across those settings, I’ve worked on organising the work, improving processes and using automation where it helps things run more smoothly.
I get to know how your team handles orders, schedules and procedures. Together, we work out what needs to change and put it into practice.
Career experience
Experience in manufacturing, food and education that informs how I work today.
At Escarpment Laboratories, I led food and fermentation product development across koji, tempeh and beverages. My work also included building and leading the homebrew function.
I spent almost five years (2013 to 2018) at AMBICO, where I have a family connection, working across automation, purchasing, design, plant operations, procedures and project management.
I hold an MBET from the University of Waterloo and a BFA in Theatre Production and Performance Production from Ryerson University. My teaching experience includes Le Cordon Bleu Ottawa, Invest Ottawa programming and Ottawa Culture Club workshops.
Teaching experience
I teach fermentation, new procedures and the use of AI tools. We plan the session around what your team needs to learn. Ottawa Culture Club’s consumer workshops are a separate activity.
