Michael Angelo'S Gourmet Foods, A Sovos Brands

Sovos Brands is a new kind of food and beverage company with a mission to acquire and build one-of-a-kind brands. Sovos has the soul of a startup, the experience of an industry leader and the financial backing of Advent International. Sovos Brands has a one-of-a-kind approach to brands, business and people—in fact, the only thing that’s old school about the company is the name, inspired by the old Latin term sovos, which means unique or one of a kind. This one-of-a- kind vision leads the company’s focus on people and brands, working to ensure that both can really thrive. Sovos Brands represent real, delicious food for the way you live. We are founded on the principles of real, clean ingredients; breakthrough brands and products (Michael Angelo's, Rao's Homemade, noosa yoghurt); meeting today's lifestyle; and winning with customers. Find out more about Sovos Brands at Sovosbrands.com. Sovos Brands is led by CEO Todd Lachman, CFO Larry Bodner, and Chairman of the Board Bill Johnson. Together, we’re building a team with extensive CPG experience—think H.J. Heinz, Mars, Del Monte Foods, Big Heart Pet Brands, Procter & Gamble—and a new vision for how people and brands can really thrive.
