D(g)B welcomes Cindi Bigelow, President and CEO of Bigelow Tea
/Bigelow is 100% family owned, has 400 employees, and manufacturing, packaging, & blending are all done in the US.
In this episode, we talk about resilience, Cindi’s leadership, becoming zero waste, BLM & diversity. We learn how COVID impacted Bigelow and the good that’s come from this experience plus their programs for supporting the troops, sustainability, giving back, and even more in this fantastic episode. It didn’t even take 5 minutes to get to the first of many mic drops from Cindi in this episode.
Did you know?
Bigelow Tea is headquartered in Fairfield, CT (which is attached to one of their three plants) and has a community garden that feeds hundreds in their area through donations to a local homeless shelter - and Cindi had to negotiate to get 1 tomato per year!
Cindi visits the places where the tea and other ingredients are sourced - AND she takes her sales & marketing folks, so they can be a part of the product in all ways possible

Two, of several, mic drop moments:
“You’re not going to be great unless you have other people who are pushing you forward.”
“If everyone thought about the greater good every day, the world would be a much better place.”
We couldn’t agree more, Cindi.
