A Harvard grad from humble beginnings, Sam started her career
as an engineer for the powerhouse consulting firm Consulting & Consultants.
However, she found her dissatisfied with the lack of diversity both throughout her
educational journey and in her corporate line of work, but wasn't sure what
she could do about it.
Meanwhile during the pandemic, she developed a passion for baking
and started to sell her creations as a hobby. The business
picked up overnight, and Sam was still working out of her kitchen when
she decided to leave her full-time job and pursue her new passion. She vowed
to use her growing platform for good, donating a part of her proceeds to help
underrepresented groups in STEM starting from her very first sale.
Today, Sam is still heavily involved in the company's daily activities and
leads our philanthrophic efforts.
Joining us as CEO earlier this year, Jane has been a long standing and outspoken
champion for equity in STEM. Since taking the helm in June, she has already
kicked off several new initiatives and projects aimed at furthering our mission.
Prior to Cookies & Bytes, Jane served as the CEO for companies such as Sodas & Software
and Hamburgers & Hardware. She has an impressive track record as a respected,
results-driven executive leader. Jane's vision for the company includes innovation and
international growth, all the while working closely with Sam to ensure our continued
commitment to funding and promoting STEM education and accessibility.
Sarah has been with the company since its inception, helping Sam set up
the original website to ensure orders could be placed quickly and smoothly.
Since then, Sarah has overseen everything from the website to the order
supply chain management system connecting our kitchens to our delivery drivers. Prior
to Cookies & Bytes, Sarah was Vice President of Development at Brownies &
Bitcoin, where she led both the design and product teams. She plans to leverage her
technical background to make the Cookies & Bytes experience as seamless as possible for
everyone.
Laura joined Cookies & Bytes in early 2021 as an accountant. She has served as
the interim Chief-Finance Officer since December of 2022, and was officially
appointed to the role last month.
With her background in global finance, she hopes to accelerate the further
expansion of Cookies & Bytes, and provide more support the company's many
new scholarships and grants for young people in STEM. In her personal time, she
also runs a free STEM tutoring summer camp.
