A Conversation with Jodi Berg, Former President & CEO of Vitamix

When many hear the brand "Vitamix," they think of high-quality blenders that have played a leading role in the whole-food movement. What they may not realize is that Vitamix is a 100-year young, Cleveland based, family owned company--employing more than 700 people, with most at its Northeast Ohio headquarters and manufacturing facilities.

Dr. Jodi Berg is recognized as an international presenter and driver of personal purpose and culture as an agent of change, recently retired as a 4th generation President and CEO of Vitamix. Dr. Berg catapulted the brand from beloved to iconic, and expanded distribution to over 130 countries. Jodi successfully navigated over 400% organic growth by transforming the organizational structure, articulating the company purpose, mission, and business objectives and creating a powerful purpose-driven culture.

Prior to joining Vitamix Jodi held leadership positions in The Residence Inn by Marriott and The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company.
