Founder and CEO
ButcherBox
Mike Salguero founded ButcherBox in 2015 after discovering that 100% grass-fed beef was nearly impossible to find in the U.S. Over the past decade, he's built ButcherBox into the country's leading direct-to-consumer meat brand and a pioneer in the claims-based meat movement, making high-quality protein accessible while setting a higher bar for animal welfare, environmental responsibility, and farmer and fisher partnerships. His belief that a company doesn't have to choose between profit and purpose isn’t simply a philosophy rather it's baked into every business decision he makes, and why ButcherBox has carried a B Corp Certification for more than six years.
