📍 United States

Julie Houser is the Founder and CEO of Flower Chef Foods, leveraging a 25-year career as a celebrated plant-based executive chef for celebrities and diplomats. An award-winning entrepreneur and cookbook author, she attended the University of California, Santa Barbara. People who have worked with her describe her as a "visionary" and "extraordinary".

Her personal battle with breast cancer, which left her unable to eat most foods, became the inspiration for her current mission. She is deeply passionate about creating food that heals and is the founder of Project Flower Power, a non-profit dedicated to addressing child hunger through nutrient-dense food programs and education.

After 18 surgeries for cancer, her inability to eat most plant-based foods drove her to create a new category of gluten-free pasta.
