Meet Advisor Erik Oberholtzer

As chef and co-founder of Tender Greens, Erik helped create the now ubiquitous “fast casual” restaurant trend. Based on Tender Greens' mission to democratize good food and its chef-driven operations, the company prospered, growing to thirty locations across the United States. In 2019, Erik joined Cohere as an advisor to founders of conscious brands as they navigate the headwinds of scale. His passion is about helping businesses own their purpose, while finding a strong position in their market and growth along the way. It is an honor to have him as a Chef lens and nontraditional agency Partner at Cohere. Our clients as Founders and Leaders can work with Erik on scaling their impact during the next chapter of food, products and sustainability.
