Veronica Garza

VERONICA GARZA is a co-founder, president, and chief innovation officer of Siete Family Foods. Diagnosed with multiple autoimmune disorders since she was a teenager, she adopted a grain-free, low inflammation diet, to combat the often-debilitating symptoms. Her entire family of seven supported and joined her on this journey, but as a Mexican-American family from South Texas, following a grain-free diet meant that family favorites like tortillas could no longer be enjoyed. To solve this problem, Garza created grain free recipes for her whole family, including an almond flour tortilla that became the first product offering for the Austin-based, Siete Family Foods in 2014. Garza leads product innovation at Siete, a family-owned, healthy Mexican-American food brand that offers chips, tortillas, and an expanding lineup of heritage inspired products. Garza earned a BA from the University of Texas at Austin in Mexican-American Studies, and an MBA in digital media management from St. Edward’s University. @sietefoods
