About Dr. Andrew Abraham:

Dr. Andrew Abraham, M.D. is the founder and CEO of Orgain, the world leader in great-tasting, clean nutrition products. As a licensed doctor and entrepreneur with more than a decade of food science experience, Dr. Abraham is passionate about making nutritious products accessible to everyone and spreading the word about the power that good, clean nutrition has to change lives. While fighting an aggressive form of muscle cancer as a teenager, he began turning to nutrition as a first line of defense. While undergoing treatment and facing malnourishment, he began blending shakes at home using only organic, food-based ingredients to replace the low-quality, conventional nutritional shakes given to him by his doctors. Soon after, his health began to improve and the cancer went into remission. Years later, while seeing patients as a practicing physician, Dr. Abraham realized the quality of conventional nutritional shakes had barely improved since his diagnosis, which inspired him to found Orgain in 2009. Today, Orgain is continuing his mission of providing consumers with clean nutrition that features delicious taste and high-quality ingredients through a wide variety of product offerings including high protein shakes, protein powders and snack bars for adults and children. Orgain is on track to do well over $700M in revenue in 2022 and is the #1 organic ready-to-drink nutritional shake in the U.S. and the #1 line of plant-based protein powders, with limitless innovations on the horizon. In 2016, Dr. Abraham was named EY Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst and Young. As an investor and advisor, he also supports several early-stage, high-growth food and beverage companies including Alpha Foods, Lemon Perfect, Catalina Crunch, Mary Ruth Organics, Cirkul, Nixie Sparkling Water, Eastern Standard Provisions, Tacombi, Choc Zero, Noka Organics, Uncle Matt’s Organic, Atlast Food, Wildgood, The Good Crisps Company, Clio Snacks, and many more.
