Pete Maldonado, a former Personal Trainer, is the Co-founder and CEO at Chomps, the fastest growing natural meat snacks brand in the category. Chomps was started in 2012 as an eCommerce brand focusing on DTC and Amazon but has since made its way onto the shelves of 8,000 Natural and Conventional Grocery stores across the US including Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Sprouts, Walmart, Safeway/Albertsons, Kroger and eCommerce platforms like Thrive Market. The brand’s rapid growth has landed them on the Inc. 5000 list 3 times and with only 8000 retail doors, there’s plenty of white space for Chomps to continue scaling on the same trajectory.
