Founder & Managing Partner
Clemmy’S Ice Cream, Clemmys Llc
Creating the first ever sugar free, gluten free, and lactose free ice cream, I partnered with food scientists and multiple universities to complete exhaustive research and development to optimize the product. Collaborating with key co-packers I developed and enhanced the quality of the product. Streamlining the production, supply chain, and manufacturing processes, I formulated a robust financial business plan and won investment. Liaising with design and marketing agencies on brand identity, packaging, and marketing strategy, I reviewed marketing metrics and customer feedback to refine follow-up campaigns and maximize ROI. Setting up social media accounts, I developed an integrated marketing strategy and created content. I generated $4 million in revenue by marketing and selling products to 11,000 stores nationwide, including into Kroger, HEB, Publix, Walmart, and Safeway branches and captured over $3 million in investment, that enabled rapid scaling of business. Committed to donating 10% of revenue back to local communities, I delivered on the pledge. I co-sponsored National Diabetes Month activities with Fresh Market, contributed to Safeway's City of Hope initiative plus donated to the Palm Springs Power Baseball team and United Way of Palm Springs.
