Following October 7, Callie Sher thought about the pets who became strays. She went on to use her industry connections to donate more than 38,000 meals to Israel's pets in need while working with the Israeli distributor.
As President of her family business Nutripack, LLC, she manages a variety of pet food brands, including a Kosher for Passover brand. Since being named President in 2022, Callie launched a new brand, Organomics Pet Food, which has since gone global. "I find a lot of value in working, learning, growing, and the grittiness of life," she said. "I believe that our food will help solve many pets' health issues and is the best in the world."
Tikkun Olam
comes easy to Callie. She recently raised over $5,000 for the Mental Health Association of Greater Chicago during its first annual fundraiser, which showcased her late sister's artwork. She is also active in raising money for the Alzheimer's Association with several family members.
The Lincolnwood native graduated from Syracuse University with an undergraduate major in mechanical engineering and minor in Spanish. Prior to joining Nutripack, LLC, Callie was a quality engineer at Shamrock International.
