Jaclyn Schnau is a "Big Food" disruptor, and the driving force behind Pumpkin Organics. With a mission to revolutionize childhood nutrition, Jaclyn founded the Munich-based startup to combat the "sugar trap" in the baby food industry, focusing instead on vegetable-forward products that build healthy habits for life. Under her leadership, the brand has scaled remarkably, now appearing on the shelves of over 13,000 retail locations across Germany and Austria, including dm, Rossmann, Muller, Kaufland and Lidl.

A Canadian native with an MBA from Harvard, Jaclyn’s career spans senior leadership roles at global giants like Pizza Hut UK and the e-commerce platform windeln.de. Beyond her business success, Jaclyn is a passionate advocate for Work-Life Integration. As a mother of two, she leads "out loud," championing a corporate culture where parenting is viewed as a leadership superpower rather than a career hurdle. Recognized as a Digital Female Leader and a Bits & Pretzels startup finalist, Jaclyn is a powerful voice for mission-driven entrepreneurship and modern, family-first leadership.
