Melissa Pashko-Founder/CEO-Jade Street Consulting

Jade Street Consulting is changing the "broken" brokering world in the CPG Industry. 100% woman-owned, they are a boutique brokering company out of Long Island, New York that only works with brands that they are truly invested in- they need to eat, drink, or use the product themselves. Unlike other brokering companies, they only take on a handful of clients at a time so that they can focus on their business and give them the time and dedication that they deserve. Jade Street Consulting are honest and transparent with their clients since that is beneficial to their success whether they want to hear it or not. They have two different channels and teams. One channel for grocery which consists of every grocery account across the U.S. and distributor and another channel for sports nutrition which consists of Vitamin Shoppe, GNC, every sports nutrition store, gym, and distributor across the country. Relationships are everything to them. Their passion is growing brands and growing JSC with the right people for long-term strategy. Culture and mental health are #1 to the founder, her team has an open door every single day and they are family. She takes care of employees the way she would want to be taken care of.
