About Katie Mleziva

“For me it’s about more than just building brands and selling food. I’ve experienced the impact food can have on the physical and mental health of adults, as well as kids. Combined with my commitment to sustainability, this is why I am so driven to be part of the solution to make good food more accessible.
After years of steady progression at Fortune 500 companies in Consumer Package Goods (CPG) and Healthcare, I left the corporate world to pursue my own entrepreneurial journey as an independent Brand Strategist working with emerging natural food businesses in order to maximize the impact I can make. Let’s go shake up shopping carts, together!”
