SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Yes to, Inc. is proud to announce that Neil Grimmer, co-founder and CEO of Plum Organics, a leading organic kids nutrition company, was appointed to the board of directors.
"Neil will be an incredibly valuable addition to Yes to's board and we are thrilled to have him as part of the team," stated Joy Chen, CEO of Yes to, Inc. "His impressive background leading Plum to become the nation's #1 organic baby food company, and establishing them as a socially responsible brand that gives back to our nation's youth, aligns perfectly with the core values and mission of Yes to."
An imaginative force and designer of ideas, products and brands, Grimmer has led the launch of 150+ innovative products, including the award-winning spouted pouch for baby, a format that has completely revolutionized the category. Former Vice President of Innovation at Clif Bar and Senior Designer at IDEO, Grimmer has been a pioneer in design and consumer products industries for over a decade.
Grimmer and Plum's commitment to the best tasting organic nutrition expands far beyond store shelves. Under his leadership, Plum became one of the first companies to reincorporate as a Public Benefit Corporation in Delaware in July 2013, reinforcing its mission to help combat child hunger and conduct business responsibly. Grimmer also launched Plum's social impact program The Full Effect™, dedicated to nourishing children in need across America. Joining the Yes to board was a natural fit – the like-minded company gives back a portion of their company profits to the Yes to Seed Fund, whose goal is to inspire kids to lead healthier, more positive lives.
"Like Plum, Yes to works to improve the lives of the people it serves by creating better-for-you products that delight consumers," said Neil Grimmer. "Through my board appointment, I look forward to continuing the innovation legacy of the Yes to brand and spreading its mission."
Grimmer will lend his support by providing counsel on future product innovation, brand awareness and overall business strategy.
