Jonathan Neman is the co-founder and co-CEO of Sweetgreen, the destination for simple, seasonal, healthy food. Just three months out of college, Neman and his co-founders, Nathaniel Ru and Nicolas Jammet, started Sweetgreen in 2007, opening their first location in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The brand’s strong food ethos, embrace of passion and purpose, and investment in local communities has enabled Sweetgreen to grow into a national brand with more than 60 locations across the East Coast and California.

Neman has been recognized as a key innovator in food and business, named to Fast Company’s “Most Creative People in Business,” Inc. and Forbes’ “30 Under 30” lists, and Food & Wine’s “40 Big Food Thinkers 40 and Under.” In 2016, Sweetgreen was named one of Fast Company’s “Most Innovative Companies.” Born and raised in Los Angeles, Neman graduated from Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business.
