What do you do at BSM Partners?

I help bridge the gap between prospective clients and the BSM practice groups using my extensive 12+ year background in the pet food industry. I work to understand prospective clients’ needs to identify the areas of support that will be needed. I draft all proposals and agreements, support the onboarding of new clients, and oversee business development needs for all BSM Partners.

What do you do outside of BSM Partners?

Outside of my time with BSM Partners, I enjoy spending time with my pets. I have dogs, cats, mini pigs, donkeys, and a horse. I love working with special needs animals that have medical needs and I’m also a certified Animal Reiki practitioner. I enjoy improving my golf game on the weekends. I’m an avid collector of crystals and rare gemstones and love to be surrounded by positive energy.

My areas of expertise include nutrition, vitamin/mineral premixes, and livestock production systems, especially beef and swine production.

I have a hobby farm with Cheviot sheep that I work Ember, my border collie, and Puffin, my Cardigan Welsh Corgi, on. I do agility and trick training with Goose, my APBT/ACD/Border collie mix. I’m also working on my CPDT-KA and -KSA certifications in hopes of someday opening a rescue for herding dogs, with a focus on rehabilitating reactivity and aggression.

About the Authors

Émilie Mesnier holds a master’s degree in food science from France and has been dedicated to the pet food industry since 2007. She is committed to leverage her almost two decades of experience to pets and animals in general, the pet food industry, efficiencies, palatability, environmental stewardship, responsible consumption, and international expansion. Passionate about continuous improvement, sustainable living and innovation, Émilie actively applies her knowledge to both her professional and personal life. In early 2025, Émilie will return to her roots in France to bring BSM Partners’ full suite of consulting services closer to clients across the European market.

Corrine Harris Trevino formerly served as a Manager of Technical Services in the Product Innovation Group at BSM Partners. Outside of work, she can generally be found walking, training, and playing with her dogs or wrangling her flock of sheep after a daring escape. Corrine also declares a bias for the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, which she believes to be the superior of the two Corgi breeds.
