Matt Cohen

Born and raised in France, Matt graduated with an MBA from the top European business school EDHEC and went to London at the age of 23 to manage seven outposts of the French clothing outfitter, Rodier. He then joined Accenture in 1992, the world’s top management consulting organization that afforded him diverse professional opportunities - first in France then in the US where he moved in 1995. In 2000, after eight years at Accenture, Matt joined EZSize.com as VP of Operations, an internet startup that used in-store and 3-D scan technology to provide consumers with size and fit recommendations on garments bought online.

In 2001, when the internet bubble burst, he returned to consulting, this time as Chief Operating Officer of Stromberg Consulting. Under Matt’s tenure, Stromberg was turned around, sold to Omnicom Group and ultimately integrated into the organization. In 2005, Matt left the corporate world to strike out on his own. Passionate about how companies connect with consumers, he was looking to develop a brand that would connect with people’s lives and be meaningful. Upset by the limited healthy food options available to children when he became parent, Matt founded and led Kidfresh, the #1 and fastest growing line of better-for-you frozen kid's meals, distributed in over 11,000 stores, enjoying the highest consumer loyalty and growing at double digit rates. More than a top product, Kidfresh has become a lifestyle brand that parents feel good about, poised to grow in multiple categories and become a staple in today’s homes.

As Founder and CEO, Matt has gained hands-on experience in all aspects of a running business: from brand strategy and identity to product development, from building a team to raising institutional capital, from sales at leading retailers in the nation to finance, operations and supply chain – a rare range of experience.
