Tim Bratland is the President of Crystal Foods Dairy Company, which is headquartered in Edina, Minnesota, and the leading natural retail cheese brand in the upper Midwest. Tim has over 30 years of experience in large and small CPG companies and worked in multiple functions including Finance, Integrated Marketing Communications, Brand Management, Sales, Operations, Integrated Business Planning, and Integration Management, which has given him unique insights into all aspects of a business and allowed him to create an enterprise that is cohesive, coordinated and competitive.

His experience has allowed him to successfully implement Integrated Business Planning into multiple companies, lead integrations of acquired companies, and modernize and future-proof Crystal Farms by developing a new three-year strategic growth plan. His ability to simplify complex issues, desire to engage employees at all levels, and ability to always see a glass as “half full” have created an organization that is motivated, engaged, and empowered. He holds a BBA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an MBA from the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota.

Outside of leading Crystal Farms, Tim strongly believes in giving back to his community. He is involved in his local church and serves on several boards, including the Alumni Board of the University of Wisconsin School of Business, and the Ronald McDonald House-Upper Midwest Charities. He also currently serves as the Co-Chairperson of the Twin Cities Wisconsin School of Business Alumni Relations Committee.
