Plant-Based Foods Veteran Ana Silva Leaves Daiya to become President of the Very Good Food Company
The Very Good Food Company (“VGF” or the “Company”), announced that veteran plant-based food production executive, Ana Silva, will join VGF as president commencing in January 2021.
VGF is pleased to enlist a president with such an impressive background in plant-based food production, as the Company scales operations. Silva has spent the past five years with Daiya Foods (“Daiya”), where she served as chief financial officer. Daiya is a Canadian-based company that manufactures plant-based dairy alternatives available at more than 25,000 stores across North America. During Silva’s time with Daiya, the company underwent a $326 million acquisition by Otsuka Pharmaceuticals, a Japanese pharmaceutical and nutraceutical company. Along with this significant acquisition, Silva oversaw a period where Daiya was ranked as the fastest-growing plant-based food company in America by SPINS.
