Our Why
Building the network that didn't exist—until now
Females in Food was founded by Angela Dodd after she experienced firsthand what so many women in F&B face: isolation, limited sponsorship, and few seats at the table.
Angela envisioned a different reality—one where women across the entire food system could connect, collaborate, and champion each other. Since launching in 2019, FIF has grown to 3,000+ talent network representing every corner of the industry.
Why this matters
Women remain underrepresented in senior leadership across food and beverage, even though they are shaping every part of the industry.
When women have access to the right network, visibility, and opportunities, they do not just advance individually—they influence the future of the industry
