About Eileen: 

Sunday Night® Foods was founded by Eileen Gannon, a former corporate executive and award-winning baker who turned her passion into a profession when she launched the company’s first products in 2021. The specialty food company offers luxurious, shelf-stable, premium chocolate ganache crafted in small batches with only the finest pure ingredients. In its first year, Sunday Night won a prestigious sofi™ Award for New Product for Dessert Toppings from the Specialty Food Association. The company donates 1 percent of sales to the National Alliance on Mental Illness and is located in Des Moines, Iowa.

Eileen has more than 35 years of experience in public relations, corporate communications, finance and investing. Before founding Sunday Night Foods, Eileen was a SVP for Corporate Communications and Investor Relations at Workiva, a publicly traded software company. She has won 15 awards for corporate communications, public relations and investor relations, including being named a Top Woman in PR from PR News and a Finalist for a Platinum PR Award for Best Financial and Investor Relations for the Workiva IPO. Even though she loved working in corporate America, her passion was always in baking. So in 2020, she was finally brave enough to launch Sunday Night Foods.
