Speaker
Rich is the Founder and CEO of Bond Pet Foods, a Boulder, Colorado-based company that’s working with food technology to produce animal proteins like chicken, turkey and fish without the animal for the pet food industry. Using some of the same processes that are employed in craft brewing, Bond produces high-quality animal proteins through fermentation, harvests them to better meet the nutritional requirements of companion animals, and supplies the ingredients to manufacturers for pet food, treat and supplement applications. Before diving into the world of pets and food tech Rich held Vice President and Director roles at some of the world’s most respected advertising agencies including Crispin, Porter + Bogusky, FCB, and Fallon, where he led brand strategy for Burger King, P&G, Kellogg’s, and Coca-Cola, among others. Rich has a B. A. in Marketing from Boston College, with additional study at Stanford University’s Center for Social Innovation.
