About John V. Tucker

BHAG's - It Starts and Ends with PeopleAs a business person and as an individual I thrive on BHAG's - Big Hairy Audacious Goals. Seeking to achieve the ordinary is underwhelming and I believe fails to optimize the value we can bring to the world, our families and ourselves. At Ellenos I have the joy and pleasure of working with a dynamic team charged with bringing great tasting, probiotic rich, real Greek yogurt to consumers across the country. I am honored to work with some of the best and brightest people in the industry delivering an amazingly authentic yogurt experience which is unlike any other yogurt on the market. Delivering this time-honored family tradition to the masses is no easy task but I am confident we shall succeed. Our collective passion for delivering the world’s most amazing yogurt experience drives our love and passion for all things Ellenos. Positive change is something I've done for the last 16+ years of my career: At Dave's Killer Bread I not only took the business from a small regional bread brand to a national runaway success, but I initiated the formation of Dave's Killer Bread Foundation which is focused on providing second chance employment opportunities for the formerly incarcerated. At SO Delicious Dairy Free, I helped grow the line of non-dairy products from $2 million to over $100 million. I believe these achievements reflect my strong execution skills and my proven ability to build and lead top performing teams.

    Milwaukie, Oregon, Us
    Working to Expand Employment Opportunities for People with Criminal BackgroundsAbout the Dave's Killer Bread FoundationDave’s Killer Bread employs over 300 employee partners, and 1 in 3 of them has a criminal background. Over the years Dave’s Killer Bread has embraced these individuals as vital members of the organization that power the national brand. Seeing firsthand the passionate dedication these partners bring to the company, Dave's Killer Bread leadership began to realize that there is a critical missing piece in the complex puzzle that underlies successful reentry after a person completes a jail or prison sentence.The Dave's Killer Bread Foundation sees tremendous potential to educate and encourage businesses about the practical side of Second Chance employment. We realize that sometimes, a lack of information or understanding about employing people with criminal backgrounds is the reason that businesses are hesitant to explore this option, and we want to change that. The programming developed by the foundation helps employers develop a more complete understanding of the why and the how behind Second Chance Employment in a simple, user-friendly way. We’re very excited to have you join us in this movement. We can assist you in implementing these practices in your own company, and encourage you to invite other organizations to follow suit. Here’s to powering Second Chance employment and championing the greatness inside everyone.SpecialtiesEmployment Practices, Training and Implementation, Policy Research, Social ImpactWebsitehttp://www.dkbfoundation.orgIndustryProgram DevelopmentTypeNon ProfitCompany Size1-10 employeesFounded2015
