Jenny Howell Cawthon

I have been working in consumer products for 18 years and in technology for one year. I started by founding a brand and ran it for about a decade. Then I transitioned to become a strategic advisor for brands, and an advisor to advisors of brands. Two years ago, I launched Posh Pantry Marketplace, a digital marketplace for emerging brands to connect with early adopter consumers, helping to eliminate or decrease some of the hurdles and challenges that emerging brand founders face. I run a small consulting group called 1550, helping small to medium size brands and businesses with their growth strategy. I also have two AI platforms heading to launch in the next 30 days. I've been on a number of panels at Natural Products Expo West, led panels there, and founded female founder groups, the longest running of which has been going for years. I'm very focused on supporting founders and supporting women in business. In the next five years, I will still be creating and building, because that's what I do, but I will likely be more focused on bringing consumer goods into tech as tech begins to really snowball.
