Renaldo Webb

Founder
PetPlate

Renaldo Webb is Founder and Chief Product Officer at PetPlate. Inspired by his dog Winston, Renaldo founded PetPlate after deciding that he did not want to feed his dog anything less than real food. After making hundreds of batches of home-cooked dog food for Winston and his pup pals, Renaldo decided to launch a pet food brand that he could proudly call his own.

Talk to me about... something people may not know about me:

I have jumped out of planes, used to be a cage-fighter, a sniper, have ridden my motorcycle at 140 mph (225kph)…. But I still think that doing research in nutrition and genetics is the most exciting experience I have had so far.
