Gail Becker

(New York, NY)

Founder of CAULIPOWER; Food Industry Entrepreneur
Gail is best known as the entrepreneur and founder of CAULIPOWER, the most innovative company in the healthy frozen food sector, named by Fast Company in 2022 as one of the top 10 most innovative food companies in the world. Under her leadership as CEO, the company surpassed $100 million in revenue in less than four years, capturing over 2% of the $5 billion U.S. pizza market. She has received accolades from publications such as Forbes, Fast Company, and Inc., and is a frequent media guest, widely sought after for her insights on female leadership, healthy food trends, and building and managing major brands.
Her career path reflects her multi-faceted passions, spanning from journalism to government service and brand building. She has held executive positions across a myriad of industries and organizations, including Edelman, Warner Bros., and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
As a mother of two sons diagnosed with celiac disease at an early age, Gail was disappointed by the available gluten-free options, which lacked both nutritional value and taste. Frustrated by the lack of initiative from major food companies, Gail decided to solve the problem herself. She left the corporate world with no regrets and launched CAULIPOWER in 2017, with the mission to reinvent America’s favorite comfort foods, making them delicious, convenient, and nutritious.
Gail’s idea was initially rejected by manufacturers and the investment community alike, but she ignored the skeptics and proved them wrong.
CAULIPOWER is recognized as the true disruptor of one of grocery retail’s most stagnant categories. In its first two years, CAULIPOWER became a top 10 frozen pizza brand and captured over 2% of the U.S. pizza market.
CAULIPOWER didn’t stop at pizza; the brand has entered a myriad of new frozen food categories, including chicken tenders, nuggets, and now pizza bites. Currently, CAULIPOWER is the number one cauliflower pizza, gluten-free pizza, and better-for-you pizza brand, available in more than 30,000 stores and 5,000 restaurants nationwide.
Gail has received widespread recognition for her contributions to business and entrepreneurship, including Forbes’ 50 Over 50; Female Entrepreneur of the Year (National Association of Women Business Owners); Trailblazer Working Mother of the Year (She Runs It); Entrepreneur of the Year (Ernst & Young); Person of the Year (NOSH Best of Awards); Entrepreneur of the Year (Stevie Awards); and Executive of the Year (Best in Biz). Under her leadership, CAULIPOWER was also named one of the Top 100 Best-Run Companies in America by Inc.
On October 13, 2021, CAULIPOWER reached the pinnacle of popular culture when the company (and Gail herself) were featured as a clue on the hit TV game show, Jeopardy!.
