The 2024 Corporate Innovation Summit is an unmissable event for anyone serious about staying ahead in today’s fast-paced business environment. John Lowe came into Jeni's Ice Cream when they had 4 adorable ice cream scoop shops in Columbus, OH. As CEO he took this small business, turned it into a startup, and now it's a national leader in grocery aisles and 90+ parlors. 

Lowe led his local CPG brand with a solid $1.2M in sales, scaled it nation-wide with $120 annual revenue. Venture Asheville invited Lowe down to Asheville to learn how he did it.

You may be asking how this is Corporate Innovation? It's a story about national distribution, manufacturing, field offices, consistency in training, complex hiring frameworks, and crafting the ultimate customer experience. Lowe's story of scaling Jeni's is one of a startup journey that finds its greatest success by becoming a formal corporation.
