Jason Ackerman Email & Phone Number

After more than a decade in the banking world, specializing in supermarket and specialty retail categories, Jason Ackerman wrote the business plan for FreshDirect, an online grocer, in 1999. His goal was simple: to remove the friction from the process of getting the highest-quality, freshest foods from the source to the consumer. Jason's vision pioneered an approach to grocery shopping that revolutionized the traditional food supply chain, replacing it with one that’s hyper-fresh, focused on relationships with producers, and technologically innovative. FreshDirect sources food directly from hundreds of farms, works with in-house chefs and bakers to create thousands of fresh-made meals and products every day, and tastes and rates the produce, seafood, and meat to ensure it’s delivering the freshest food available to its customers in the Northeast.
