Their goals are twofold: to be a celebrated employer – building and nourishing lives, and to become the world’s most celebrated luxury food brand.

Nicki Schroeder

Nicki Schroeder joined the High Road team at the request of the Board of Directors in April 2011. Currently, she handles all brand development and design at High Road Craft Ice Cream, Inc., and recently orchestrated a seven-SKU retail launch with poise within a 90-day time crunch.

Nicki is a veteran of the marketing world, with over 20 years of Fortune 100 experience. Worked in both New York and Los Angeles with prominent advertising, design, and marketing firms and has managed multi-million dollar projects for clients including Target, Home Depot, and Coca-Cola.
