Supply Chain: Sustainable Sourcing with Sarela Herrada, Founder of SIMPLi The Tidbit

With global migration and pandemics knocking at our doorsteps, how are we thinking about our supply chains - who they are benefitting, how they are contributing to the health of our planet and not extracting from it, and how we have more direct relationships with the food we are consuming to know the true impact of how its grown in a healthy and transparent way. This is why we’re sitting down to talk with Sarela Herrada, the Founder of SIMPLi. She focuses on ethical food sourcing to create a vertically integrated supply chain from working directly with the international farming communities to the distribution of products to market. Prior to SIMPLi, Sarela spent 5 years at CAVA Group, where she led supply chain strategy and execution - which included national foodservice distribution for 350+ restaurants under two brand catalogs (CAVA + Zoe's Kitchen) - purchasing over 150MM+ spend and 300+ unique SKUs in various categories.
