Janne Rasmussen is the Senior Marketing Manager for Cypress Grove in Arcata, CA, and a proud Humboldt County, CA native. With more than fifteen years at Cypress Grove, she’s helped grow the brand’s national presence and developed a deep and ever evolving understanding of cheese consumers and the broader specialty industry.

Known for her curiosity, enthusiasm, and comfort in a group, Janne loves welcoming visitors, leading trainings, and sharing the story behind Cypress Grove’s cheeses. Her background in competitive dairy products evaluation and her inherited Dutch devotion to rich, full-fat dairy fuel her. She’s been a committed partner to the work leading strategic marketing initiatives, especially in brand management, portfolio optimization, new product development and innovation, and marketing strategy for Cypress Grove over the last 15 years.

Janne is happiest surrounded by good people and good food, ideally with her husband and kids nearby — though she’ll never turn down an evening spent watching a show with ice cream.
