Name: Alex Strand

How long have you been with Fooda: 1.5 years

Job Title: Business Development Manager

What do you really do? I like to think of myself as a lunch detective. I get cases of some of the saddest desk lunches, and do some investigating to see if Fooda can help solve them.

What is your favorite thing about your job? I’m able to offer creative solutions and have conversations about products with real value that make busy people’s lives a bit easier and more appetizing.

What is the most challenging part about your job? Getting hung up on.

What is your favorite thing about working at Fooda? My teammates. Every co-worker I’ve met comes from a unique background, has their own interesting reason for why they do what they do, and would probably be my friend outside of work too.

Favorite Restaurant Partner? West Town Bakery, I could eat one of their salads everyday for lunch.

Favorite Ice Cream Flavor? Butterscotch. People call me a grandma, but in reality my grandmother used to always have Werther’s at her house so it’s nostalgic.

Favorite Karaoke Song? As Long As You Love Me by The Backstreet Boys

One thing Fooda has taught you? The easiest way to a person’s heart (especially myself) is through their stomach.

Secret Hobby? I’m a really good dancer (and wedding date, Ladies…)
