Whole Foods Market

"My path to Whole Foods Market has been as surprisingly delightful as the products on our shelves. After earning my MBA from Florida A&M, I embarked on a product management odyssey where I focused on refining user experiences. My journey continued through leadership roles at purpose-driven companies where I championed technology in service of daily life to create seamless, delightful moments for customers.   Joining Whole Foods' Digital Product Management team is like joining Team Possible! It’s a canvas to reimagine how we connect people with nutritious food. We're not just enhancing the grocery shopping experience — we're redefining how convenient access to healthy choices can be.   In my short time here, the commitment to sustainability and wellness that permeates every aspect of our operations has resonated with me. It’s thrilling to be at the forefront of a movement that is quite literally energizing. I look forward to integrating Whole Foods' Purpose of nourishing people and the planet into every digital interaction." - Mikal Lewis, Executive Leader of Digital Product Management #Product #NourishPeople #NourishWellbeing #TeamWFM

Anytime we get a chance to see regenerative agriculture in action, we take it. Last fall, a group of our Culture Champions ventured to Fairview, NC, to learn more about the ecological verification process and life on the land with our partner supplier Hickory Nut Gap, a farm focused on putting these regenerative efforts to practice to improve soil, enhance biodiversity, and increase carbon capture.

"I came from Mexico City five years ago in 2019 to start my career in the Chappaqua Store as a Team Member in the Meat department. I was a photographer in Mexico City, so I came to Whole Foods Market with little knowledge of meat or the grocery environment. I slowly developed my experience as a Team Member and grew confident enough to assist my leadership. I began Butcher training in 2021, and two years later, I moved to our White Plains store, where I finished the Butcher Apprentice program. A month later, my store leadership promoted me to the Associate Team Leader role in the Meat Department. In my new role, I aided in the Rochester and Jersey City store openings, where I cultivated relationships with some of the experienced Butchers there. I gained tremendous knowledge from them and grew my own cutting skills (I love trimming Tenderloin and Flap Steak). What I like most about being a Butcher is the creativity, how I delight and satisfy our customers and sharing my craft with my son, teaching him the skills I've gained, like the importance of picking a good steak! The Butcher Apprentice program has allowed me to accelerate my career at Whole Foods. Knowing nothing about meat, becoming a Butcher and ATL are accomplishments I never thought I would achieve. I would love to see more women in the Butcher industry. There is a misconception that only men are capable of this work. It's crucial to demonstrate that women also have outstanding skills in this field. Gender diversity in the workplace is not only ethical, but it also drives innovation and business success. Through my experience, I want to empower women and men to overcome barriers and achieve their goals. It is time to recognize and celebrate the contributions of women in the Butcher industry and the world of work in general. By doing so, we not only promote gender equality but we build a stronger, more sustainable future. I'm privileged to be part of the Whole Foods Market family, where growth and learning opportunities are accessible to all Team Members." - Samantha Ramirez, Meat Associate Team Leader #Apprenticeship #Butcher #NourishPurpose #NourishGrowth #TeamWFM

I still can’t fully express the impact of yesterday’s meeting, when the CEO of Whole Foods Market Jason Buechel visited Nguyen Coffee Supply!! 😱 We have come such a long way in changing the narrative around robusta, and with it, changing the system. When I first started the company, I was faced with countless rejections and the deep stigma against robusta. Over the last 5+ years, we continued to put in the work to elevate robusta, challenge the status quo and deconstruct a whole system of perpetual inequity. Now with Whole Foods, known for their high quality standards, embracing our robusta, it shows the entire industry that change IS possible. Major S/O to the entire Nguyen Coffee Supply team, our partners, our stakeholders and our community for championing our mission. We have already changed the world, and there is still SO MUCH MORE to come. Onward!! 🙏✨🚀 #robusta #vietnamesecoffee #entrepreneurship

We were already incredibly proud to have Dole Food Company as a Sourced for Good supplier. Their commitment to supporting farmworkers, their families and the Costa Rican community by investing in health services and career advancement initiatives consistently aligns with our purpose of Nourishing People and the Planet. But their pineapple artistry just took our appreciation to #whole new heights. Which is your favorite? We're quite partial to the peacock 🦚. #InternationalPineappleDay #NourishPeople #ProudPartners

"I joined Whole Foods Market twice — once as a Social Media Intern in 2022 and most recently as a Social Media and Influencer Marketer since August. Whole Foods Market was always my comfort place to find specialty products and brands as a foodie (like my favorite pistachio milk and vegan croissants!). Beyond my customer experience with the store, my internship was the perfect introduction and boot camp to the business side of Whole Foods, where I got to translate business needs and learnings into my current role. I love how we integrate our culture and values into our storytelling on our organic social and influencer marketing channels. There’s also always something new in social media, so it’s a fun challenge to tie our brand into culturally relevant online conversations — like tying our viral Berry Chantilly Cake to an episode of The Bachelor on our TikTok. My role involves learning and growing daily as I tap into my creative and analytical brain with trend identification and content creation. I also love the collaborative nature of my role. I work with various stakeholders in my day-to-day from influencers, agency partners, and cross-functional team members who all help inform our content, partnerships and purpose!" -Michelle Cheung-Zheng, Social Media and Influencer Marketing Strategist #Marketing #NourishPeople #NourishWellbeing #TeamWFM
