The CEO Is In: Brightland’s Aishwarya Iyer And Territory Foods’ Ellis Singer McCue

On today’s show, two very different food world CEOs. First up, Aishwarya Iyer, the founder of Brightland, a collection of thoughtfully sourced and crafted olive oils, vinegars, and honeys. Aishwarya never planned on becoming an entrepreneur or working in the food startup space, but her plans changed when she fell in love with the world of olive oil. Today, her Brightland brand is beloved by home cooks and connoisseurs alike. Aishwarya joins us to talk about her origin story and what’s next for Brightland. In the second half of the show, it’s Ellis Singer McCue, the CEO of Territory Foods who loves problem-solving as much as she does healthy food. Ellis shares her professional journey from Deloitte consultant to systems expert at Gap to CEO of Territory. Ellis also talks about how Territory is working to disrupt the meal delivery category and she shares her predictions regarding the food as medicine movement. Our podcast is recorded at Newsstand Studios at Rockefeller Center in New York City. Our theme song is by the band Tra La La.
