  • John Mackey is a leading entrepreneur, co-founder, and former CEO of Whole Foods Market and a pioneer in natural and organic foods. Mackey advocates capitalism as a force for good, co-founding the Conscious Capitalism Movement. During his 44 years as CEO, he transformed the company from a single store to 540 across the U.S., with annual sales exceeding $22 billion. He led initiatives like the Whole Planet Foundation, the Global Animal Partnership, and the Total Health Immersion program. After retiring from Whole Foods in 2021, he launched Love.Life,  a business venture wellness club offering mind, body, and spirit wellness. He serves on the board of directors for Conscious Capitalism. His latest book, “The Whole Story: Adventures in Love, Life and Capitalism,” was published in May 2024.
