About Eileen Gannon

I am a founder and CEO, with strengths in strategic business development, investor relations, marketing, and communications. I draw upon 37 years of experience in corporate communications, public relations, investments, and finance to exercise both sides of my brain. With experience in consumer packaged goods, food manufacturing, software, financial services, and capital markets, I aim to improve value for our customers, investors, employees, and communities.After decades of working for other companies, I was finally brave enough (and experienced enough) to create a passion project in specialty food that had been at the back of my mind for years. I launched Sunday Night Foods in late 2021 with a line of premium dessert sauces, winning three national awards and getting placed on more than store shelves in our first two years.Some call me a perfectionist, but as a leader I make sure my team has the freedom and support they need to do their jobs. Competition motivates me in all aspects of my life, and I have an outstanding track record of success and awards. I have won more than 600 culinary awards in addition to my many professional awards.
