Our Story
“GoGo” is really an idea and a way of looking at the world. People tend to overcomplicate things when the truth is a simple fact right in front of them. “GoGo” is the simple unstructured and active play that is pure goodness for kids (and the kid in all of us). “GoGo” is about having the imagination to create delight in any situation.
At GoGo squeeZ our mission is to make it easier for kids & families to be a little healthier and happier. We work in the magical space where kids are happy and parents are affirmed. GoGo kids ask for healthier snacks and love to play outside. GoGo moms get to say YES! more often. Our purpose is to spread more “GoGo” love. We invite you to join us. We invite you to play. The more the merrier.
- Michel Larroche, GoGo Captain, A.K.A CEO
-
An entrepeneur and innovator at heart, it is Michel who can be thanked for bringing squeeZable fruit pouches to the masses. Michel had a vision for healthy snacking that was good on the go. Thus, GoGo squeeZ was born. When not thinking of new flavors and products for your enjoyment you can find Michel riding horses or spending time with his wife and 3 daughters Alice, Kila, and Maya in France. Michel plays on the roads less traveled and we are all the richer for it.
- Meena Mansharamani, GoGo Grow Officer, A.K.A Managing Director
-
Meena began her adventure with GoGo squeeZ last December after starting her own company, Pup To Go, LLC and working for PepsiCo and A.T. Kearney. Our Go-Go Grow Officer loves wellness, kids and things she can shape – so GoGo squeeZ was a natural fit for her and for us. Meena runs the North American side of things and is committed to making sure all our too corporate fans, family, friends, and partners get a little of the simple and fun goodness of GoGo squeeZ every day.
- Jeannette Cornell, GoGo Guru, A.K.A VP Marketing
-
Head in the clouds? Perhaps. Jeannette is always dreaming up the next big idea to help moms and kids enjoy wholesome yummy snacks on the go. As a mom, she can relate to the never-ending cries of “I’m hungry” and fell in love with GoGo squeeZ as a healthy (shhh!) snack that her kids <3. Originally from Maryland, Jeannette enjoys simple outdoor fun with her kids. When not on the GoGo, you can often find her curled up with a good book. Her favorite GoGo squeeZ flavor is applepeach.
- Javier Gómez, GoGo Treasurer, A.K.A VP Finance
-
You could say that Javier was destined to work in Finance. When Javier was born his parents offered him a calculator instead a stuffed animal (and we have the picture to prove it). In his youth, when most children played in tree forts, Javier preferred the board game Monopoly. Thankfully for us this mathematical mastermind is on team GoGo. Javier is the person responsible for making sure that our financial means are well used so our customers get the best value possible. Javier plays it safe. He also makes sure the lights are off and the door is locked in our Headquarters every night before heading home to his wife and two children. Thanks Javier!
- Mike Harding, Master Pouch Ambassador, A.K.A VP Retail Sales
-
Mike plays hard and Mike works hard. It was only fitting that Mike, an avid lover of all things active, joined the GoGo Gang after 25 years in Sales…13 of which were focused in the Food Industry. How blessed were we to find a VP of Sales that grew up on a farm? When Mike’s not on the road visiting our customers you can find him at home with his wife, 3 children, and 2 dogs watching a Cubs game or training for his next marathon. Mike believes in GoGo squeeZ and all the goodness that our active brand brings to life for him.
- Lauren Doyle, SqueeZ Squad Captain, A.K.A Brand Activation Manager
-
Lauren, our resident Southern belle, plays nice – as far as we know. Whether it’s cooking up homemade meals for family and friends, or scouring the country for clever spots to play, you can count on her to be most agreeable, y’all. Lauren gave Red Bull wings for almost a decade and is now adding the SqueeZ to our Squad. While on-leave from her Captains duties, you can find Lauren at the beach or watching SEC football. Lauren is especially happy when shopping for a great piece of jewelry or funky shoes.
- Jessica Elefante, Playground Monitor, A.K.A Digital PR Strategist
-
Our Playground Monitor, Jess, talks the talk in the largest playground known to man….the worldwide web. When not gabbing it up with our friends and fans online, Jess, who grew up in the mountains of Upstate New York, plays dirty. Whether with her English Bulldog, Tyson, tromping in the puddles after a rainstorm in NYC or getting her feet and hands muddy while hiking the high peaks of New York state…Jessica is happiest when she’s outside and making a mess.
- Stephanie Pérez, Play Counselor, A.K.A Marketing Coordinator
-
Believe it or not they exist….Stephanie is our Native New Yorker! Naturally, growing up walking the sidewalks to school and having the best restaurants at her fingertips, Stephanie had an insatiable appetite for food and health at a young age. Her professional journey began with Citarella Fine Foods & Sprout Baby Food before making the jump to GoGo squeeZ. When Steph is not answering our customers every question, need, and wish (she’s almost a miracle worker) she enjoys reading, kickboxing, and spending time with her 2 dogs, Maggie and Lucas.
- Luke, Chief SqueeZ Officer, A.K.A Office Morale Booster
-
Luke is the 10-year old son of Meena who takes his job as GoGo Gang Headquarters Mascot very seriously. When requesting meetings with Luke organic turkey and belly rubs are encouraged.
The song says, “Give me spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees”…we have to agree. We source from evolved farms and orchards that use the best ecological practices to grow and harvest fruits keeping the use of any chemical agents to a bare minimum. To further protect the integrity of our products we remove and recycle all peels on all fruits used to create our yummy squeezable fruit. You get pure apples, great taste and no hidden nonsense.
