About Joel Warady

I serve as a trusted advisor and board member to a group of companies who are in their early-stage growth trajectories.Most recently I had the exciting opportunity to lead a fast-growing start-up, Catalina Snacks. Joining pre-launch, I helped create the strategy and go-to-market plans, first as an advisor to the Founder and subsequently as the company's President. During this period, we had the good fortune of growing the Catalina Crunch brand profitably from 0 to $130 million in brand value prior to my departure from day-to-day management in January 2024.This came after having played an instrumental role in growing Enjoy Life Foods from start-up business plan into a $100 Million brand and a leader in the Free-From food category, ultimately serving as the General Manager (CEO) of the business after a successful acquisition by Mondelez.Over the years, I have been recognized as a leader in marketing and execution:*Named one of Top 30 Influential Marketers on Twitter by AgencySpotter*Brand Quarterly’s 50 Over 50 Marketing Thought Leaders*Ranked by Forbes.com as the #30 Most Influential CMO on Social Media *Social Media Marketing Magazine ranking as #21 CMO on TwitterI have been a Featured Speaker at Industry Conferences including but not limited to:* Groceryshop * Natural Products Expo West* Natural Products Expo East* Path to Purchase Summit* Sweets & Snacks Expo* Food Innovate Summit* Food Navigator, Food for Kids Summit* Shopper Brain ConferenceSpecialties: Business Growth, Strategic Marketing, Brand Strategy, Social Media Strategy, Interactive Marketing, Event Marketing, Keynote Presentations.
