Christie Legally
Christie Lagally, CEO and founder of Rebellyous Foods (http://rebellyous.com) A mechanical engineer who holds five patents, Lagally started the food technology and manufacturing company in an effort to end factory farming by creating delicious, widely available, and affordable plant-based chicken products. Prior to starting Rebellyous, she supervised a team of 35 engineers--mostly men--at Boeing where she and her team optimized the 777 wing assembly. What she learned at Boeing is informing how she and her team are redesigning processing facilities to optimize them for plant-based meat, enabling them to create plant-based nuggets that are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, yet affordable. Ultimately, they hope to replace some of the $40 billion of nuggets, patties, and further processed chicken products sold annually with their products.
