Meet Julia Olayanju! She is a scientist, educator and thought-leader driving change in the food industry. Her food passion stems from a desire to explain the why--the science behind food--by providing an evidence-based rationale for food choices. Driven by her passion, Julia founded two organizations: FoodNiche and FoodNiche-Ed. Each organization is focused on promoting food and health using different approaches. Through FoodNiche Inc, Julia forms strategic partnerships with food industry leaders and brings together innovators to tackle the problems in our food system. Each year FoodNiche Tech Summit and FoodNiche Global Summit brings hundreds of leaders together. FoodNiche-Ed is a technology company with a platform that empowers teachers to drive change through education by introducing the science of food and health to students, without increasing the teachers’ workload.
Since starting these companies, Julia is proud of the impact she sees from her work on people’s lives, especially with children as they are empowered to think differently about food and nutrition. While there have been many challenges along the road, Julia enjoys all of the lessons that she's learned--every day is different. Julia also speaks about her experience as a black woman in STEM and the importance of diversity in mentorships to support the next generation. Her advice for those on their own journey into entrepreneurship extols the role that mentors and community play in success; nobody likes opening their door for strangers, but people will always open the door for a familiar face.
