How Did Daniel Lubetzky Make His Money?
After his short stint at Sullivan & Cromwell and McKinsey & Company, in 1994, Daniel founded PeaceWorks, a for-profit organization that strives to facilitate co-operation in the Middle East through business. However, it wasn’t until 2003 that Daniel founded KIND, a snack foods company with the hope to replace unhealthy snacks in the market that have led to the obesity epidemic in America. KIND soon became a popular snacking choice, and its demands skyrocketed. It became the fastest-growing snacks company in the US, and in 2020, it was bought by Mars for $5 billion. Daniel continues to have a stake in the company and is still involved in its operations.
