Founder/CEO nutpods

Madeline Haydon is the Founder & CEO of Green Grass Foods Inc., the plant-based food company behind nutpods, the best-selling dairy-free creamers made from a blend of almonds and coconuts. Launched with a successful Kickstarter campaign in late 2013, Madeline developed nutpods based on a personal need:  a rich and creamy, dairy-free coffee creamer without artificial ingredients or sweeteners.  nutpods was launched via Seattle-area retailers and on Amazon.com in mid-2015 and since that time nutpods has become the #1 plant-based creamer on Amazon and the fastest growing brand in natural and conventional retail with a footprint that includes Whole Foods, Sprouts, Kroger, Publix and others.

nutpods selection as “Editor’s Pick” at the Natural Products Expo in 2015 and subsequent online sales success has garnered Madeline speaking engagements at the Specialty Food Association Conferences, Natural Products Expo West, Natchcom and others.  Her approach to seeding brands and nutpods’ success has been covered in publications including Forbes, Seattle Business, Food Navigator, and One Green Planet. Madeline holds a BS from the University of Washington and an MBA from Seattle University.
