Overview

Shireen Khera is an entrepreneur and former Fortune 500 executive with over 15 years of experience in business transformation at companies like Apple, Visa, and Accenture. She is the founder of Hey! Hunger, a plant-based food company focused on gut health through Indian-inspired, clean-label frozen meals. People who have worked with her describe her as visionary, practical, and an exceptional leader.

Food has been a central part of Shireens life, inspired by her childhood in India and her familys home cooking. Her personal health challenges in the U. S. led her back to the nourishing, plant-forward foods she grew up with, which became the foundation for her company. She is passionate about making healthy, convenient food rooted in culinary heritage.

She transitioned from managing large-scale operational transformations at top global companies to creating her own CPG brand inspired by Ayurveda and her mothers belief that food is a form of care.
