Skilled Marketer Joins All-Women Board of Rapidly Growing, Sustainably Sourced Coffee Brand
Copper Cow Coffee, the woman-owned, sustainably-focused Vietnamese coffee company has had a record year, marked by the brand’s increased retail footprint and closing of a $8.5-million dollar Series A funding round. To usher in the next wave of the brand’s growth, Copper Cow Coffee is proud to announce the appointment of Allison Fowler to the Company’s Board of Directors. This latest Board search and placement was made in collaboration with Women On Boards (WOB) Project, a nonprofit with the mission of empowering women business leaders and improving diversity and inclusion at the board of directors level across consumer brands.
Fowler, who was recently appointed as CMO of Perfect Day, has over 20 years of experience in the CPG space, working with both start-up and established brands alike. Her experience spans work with brands including Perfect Bar, Kashi Company and more where she has been responsible for leading high performing teams, business strategy development, brand positioning and communications strategy, and concept-to-launch new product development.
“Every candidate presented by Women on Boards Project was so impressive and exceptional. Their team is providing such a valuable resource to entrepreneurs while supporting the natural products ecosystem overall,” said Debbie Wei Mullin, Copper Cow Coffee CEO and Founder. “When we met Allison it was like love at first sight! She is such a smart marketer, and we know she will be an incredible value-add to our team.”
Founded in 2017, Copper Cow Coffee has made a name for itself through elevating the coffee drinking experience to the status of self-care with its roster of signature lattes and 100% naturally flavored coffees. The Company provides tradition with a twist by delivering coffee the conscious way and has grown its retail footprint to include major retailers nationwide including Whole Foods, Walmart, H-E-B, Sprouts and more. Led by Vietnamese American Debbie Wei Mullin, the woman-founded and led brand has long prioritized driving diversity in leadership and when connected with Women on Boards (WOB) Project knew the organization’s mission aligned well with the company’s ethos.
“Debbie has built an incredible woman-led business and we were honored to have been a part of this Board search to bring Allison to the table,” said Cassie Burr, Executive Director of Women on Boards (WOB) Project. “Allison and I have known each other for many years, and I know her marketing acumen will be a tremendous asset to Copper Cow in this next stage of development for the brand.”
“Debbie is such a dynamic, talented, entrepreneur and I couldn’t be more honored to join the Board of Copper Cow,” said Allison Fowler, Board Member of Copper Cow Coffee. “The brand is providing an experience to its consumers through delicious, consciously sourced coffee and under Debbie and team’s leadership, I know is poised for exponential forthcoming growth.”
