About Angela and the start of Females in Food
In 2019, I came across a statistic that shook me: 80% of food buying decisions globally are made by women, yet less than 24% of senior leadership positions in the food and beverage industry are held by women. This wasn’t just a number to me; it was a glaring reflection of an industry that needed change.
