Pytlinski commented: “A real void exists in the pizza category when it comes to vegan options for consumers. Before Gunars developed NUMU, pizza providers never had a plant-based mozzarella that tasted great and performed like its dairy counterpart. This company has brought breakthrough change to the industry and I’m thrilled to be on board as we grow the brand, expand distribution and further penetrate the category.”
NUMU growth and innovation
Pytlinski most recently stood as CEO at NutraDried Food Company where he worked to initiate growth via new distribution and products as well as pushing forward on a major brand re-launch. Prior to this, he held senior posts at Palermo’s Pizza and Kraft Foods. He studied at Northeastern University achieving a BS in Business Administration; following this an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
Elmuts will continue working as an active driving force for future product expansion. He commented: “We’re incredibly fortunate to have Mike as our new CEO. A true industry veteran, Mike brings over 30 years of experience to NUMU with many accolades and accomplishments. I’m excited to see his vision for our brand come to life as we embark on the next stages of growth and innovation.”
We love cheese as much as anyone at NUMU; have you tried any of these vegan cheese brands?
