Ben Sigel

Ben Sigel, the founder of Full Belly Foods, graduated from Emory University's Goizueta Business School in May 2020, amidst the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Inspired by the alarming amount of produce being wasted due to restaurant closures, he took action by renting a U-Haul, driving to a farm in western Massachusetts, and delivering fresh produce to a local food pantry.

 

While managing Full Belly Foods, Ben also excelled in a merchandising role at Walmart, where he grew a $500 million business into a $700 million enterprise within a year. After spending five years in merchandising, Ben decided to put his full time and energy into combatting food insecurity with Full Belly Foods. His dedication to effective negotiation and cost management drives Full Belly Foods' mission to maximize food donations for those in need.
