Jennifer G Moore
Jennifer G Moore

Jen co-founded Jem Organics, a purpose-centered food manufacturing business. Jen was the CEO for 10 years and helped grow the company to $900K in annual revenue before she decided to sell the majority shares to partners that would be able to fund the growth and take over the day-to-day operations. After 10 years, Jen was ready to take her experience from the school of hard knocks and great success to others in the industry.

Jen is currently a BizDev consultant for a women-owned company and acts as a coach to several small business start-ups, which is Jens sweet spot.

Jen is honored to be an OK facilitator for the OK 6 (FaB; Food and Beverage) group, where she brings support, compassion, and practical industry experience and wisdom to the members.

I am the founder of Dry Canyon Salt Company, a gourmet wine salt company. We are committed to the success of the home cook by providing a high quality, easy to use, tasty product. I have been in the food service / hospitality industry for over thirty years. I recognized that most people want to cook delicious meals for friends and families, but are intimidated by long ingredient lists and "strange" spices. I created wine salt blends to inspire creativity in the kitchen and to bring out everyone's inner chef.
