About Shwetha Shrivatsa

I’m a strategist and founder with a career built on solving complex problems across enterprise systems, retail ecosystems, and now food innovation. My journey began in SAP consulting at Infosys and IBM, where I optimized global systems and workflows. I then spent over a decade at Sears, leading end-to-end retail functions—from inventory management and category strategy for seasonal e-commerce to senior marketing roles overseeing omnichannel campaigns, CRM, and brand transformation. I’ve partnered across merchandising, pricing, and planning to drive growth, margin, and customer experience. Today, I’m the cofounder of Symphony Foods, where I bring operational rigor and strategic fluency to a deeply personal mission: creating sorghum-based, nutrient-dense, allergen-free snacks and foods for modern pantries. As an allergy mom, I’m committed to clean-label innovation that protects and empowers families. I lead with empathy, precision, and a bias for action—whether developing scalable sourcing partnerships, crafting retail-ready formats, or building a brand that honors both safety and joy.
