Julie’s Real Hires Industry Veteran Todd Barry
Julie’s Real, a fast-growing natural food company known for its incredibly clean and incredibly delicious Almond Butters, Cashew Butters and Grain-Free Granolas announced today that it hired Todd Barry as Director of Finance and Operations.
Mr. Barry joins Julie’s Real with over ten years of accounting and operations experience primarily in the Food and Beverage industries. Since May 2016, Mr. Barry was Operations Accounting Manager at WhiteWave Foods, where he managed cost accounting, co-packer relations and championed several cost reduction initiatives.
Prior to WhiteWave, Mr. Barry was Cost Accounting Manager at IMI Precision Engineering from September 2014 to May 2016 and was at Campari from May 2012 to September 2014 where he was a Senior Cost Accountant and a Supply Chain Financial Analyst. Todd is a Certified Managerial Accountant and has a Bachelors Degree in Finance from Grand Valley State University.
Julie’s Real Founder, Julie Fox, noted that, “We are so excited to welcome Todd to the Julie’s Real Team! We are committed to creating the best gluten-free and Paleo products and that includes building a world-class team.”
Michael Fox, Co-Founder of Julie’s Real added that, “We are looking forward to Todd helping us incorporate best practices from larger food and beverage companies into our entrepreneurial environment and helping Julie’s Real achieve our vision of building America’s premier natural food brand.”
Julie Fox has been passionate about good food and good health for two decades, but when her husband Mike was diagnosed with Barrett’s Esophagus in December 2015, it caused her to re-evaluate what those words really mean. Julie and Mike made significant diet changes, omitting processed foods, grains, dairy and refined sugar from their diet.
While Julie was committed to helping her husband heal with good health, she also made a commitment to help him heal with good food. Real good food. Julie began making tasty snacks like almond butters, cashew butters and grain-free granolas with only real, good-for-you ingredients… Julie’s Real was born.
