Bio:
David Greenfeld the Founder and CEO of Dream Pops. Dream Pops is one of the fastest growing plant-based ice cream & confectionery brands in the United States. He was recently named to Forbes 30 Under 30 Class of 2020 for Food & Drink, and in a few short years has built and scaled a vertically integrated factory & supply chain servicing more than 6,500+ retailers with plans to reach 8,000 by year's end.
David took the leap from a life of financial security as an investment banker to pursue his dream in building the next great plant based ice cream and confectionery brand.
David's Bit of Gold: He said, “Life is short. You should strive to wake up everyday and love what you do. The financial piece is important. You need to take care of yourself. But you need to be thoughtful in what you want to do with the limited amount of time that you have on this planet.”
He knew he wanted to make change in his life and he took the jump… 6 years later, it’s finally paying off.
