GT's Living Foods Welcomes Jon Clancy as Their First President

After three decades of pioneering the kombucha movement, GT's Living Foods, widely known as GTLF, is entering a new era of leadership with the appointment of Jon Clancy as its inaugural president. This transition comes as the brand celebrates its 30th anniversary, a significant milestone for a company dedicated to the belief that real, living foods can deeply nourish and transform lives.

Jon Clancy is no stranger to the natural foods industry. With nearly 20 years of experience, he brings a wealth of knowledge in scaling fresh, whole ingredients to market. His previous role as Chief Operating Officer at Bonduelle Fresh Americas honed his expertise in developing plant-based, ready-to-eat meals and fresh produce, making him an excellent fit for GTLF’s mission to craft authentic, raw, and perishable foods.

In the words of GT's founder and CEO, GT Dave, "From the very beginning, GT's Living Foods has been about sharing something real. Now, 30 years later, we are poised for growth with Jon’s leadership. This allows me to focus on innovation, marketing, and my family."

A Legacy of Quality and Integrity

GT's Living Foods was founded by GT Dave when he was just 15 years old, driven by a passion for the health benefits of living foods. Over the years, the brand has expanded its product offerings beyond the flagship SYNERGY® Kombucha to include a diverse range of functional living foods such as ALIVE Ancient Mushroom Elixir, COCOYO Raw Coconut Yogurt, and IMMORTAL Wellness Shots. Nevertheless, the core mission remains the same: to produce food that is genuinely alive and beneficial.

"As we look ahead, it’s time to evolve—without compromising what makes us unique," Dave stated. Jon Clancy echoes this sentiment, emphasizing that while his role may involve growth and innovation, the essential values of GTLF will remain intact. "I've been inspired by GT’s philosophy and dedication to its products, and it’s an honor to help the company expand while honoring its roots," he said.

Setting the Stage for New Innovations

In his position as president, Jon Clancy will be pivotal in overseeing GTLF’s day-to-day operations, strategic planning, and new product innovations. His focus will ensure that every bottle of SYNERGY® Kombucha, every spoonful of COCOYO, and each sip of Agua de Kefir stays true to the original vision of freshness and authenticity.

Mainstream consumers have shown an increasing demand for high-quality living foods, and GTLF is well-positioned to meet those needs. Clancy’s leadership is expected to propel the company into a phase where they can cater to a broader audience while staying committed to their health-conscious philosophy.

As GT’s Living Foods embarks on this new chapter, they reaffirm their dedication to maintaining genuine fermentation practices and the integrity of living foods. With Clancy at the helm, the company aims to nourish future generations—one bottle at a time.
