Brian Khoddam
CEO/Co-founder
Brian Khoddam’s craving developed while traveling. He picked up the concept of the portable meat pie while vacationing in South Africa, where there are hundreds of little shop selling these delicious treats. He just couldn’t get enough of these savory pies and was determined to bring the concept back home to the States.

Brian is an accountant by trade with a solid 15 year career in finance and business management, and a BS and MBA from the University of Southern California. Brian earned his CPA while at powerhouse Ernst & Young, serving the firm’s retail, real estate and hospitality clients. He then turned his talents toward consulting for a diverse group of companies including PolyGram and Razorfish before transitioning to Office Depot where he oversaw 208 retail locations with over $1.5 billion in revenue.
