Winning and Losing Strategies Webinar with Jeff Church
*THIS IS A FREE PUBLIC VIRTUAL EVENT*
Join us for our special February Webinar, Winning and Losing Strategies with Jeff Church, founder of Suja Juice!
About Jeff Church:
“With over 35 years of entrepreneurial experience, I am passionate about creating, building, and ultimately selling consumer brands that are market disruptors and that make a positive impact in the world. I am the founder and CEO of TeamChurch.co, a platform for me that involves: 1) high impact consulting and fund raising for CPG brands; 2) public speaking and 3) finishing up my book on the Suja story and entrepreneurship. Woven through it all is a compelling desire to share with aspiring entrepreneurs both the successes and losses that I've incurred along the way with the hopes that my experiences can be others' short cuts.
One of my proudest achievements was co-founding and leading Suja Juice, the leading cold-pressed juice brand in the US, which grew to over $100 million in revenue in just six years. I was honored to receive the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award and the BevNet Person of the Year award for my role in Suja's success. I have a MBA from Harvard Business School and a CPA background from Ernst & Young. I enjoy working with people who share my values and vision, and who are committed to making a difference in the world.”
