Part CEO, part personal development wonk, and part biohacker
info geek, Thom King is a self-confessed serial entrepreneur. While
his favorite book list contains many success-oriented and
personal-development classics, the traditional definition of
achieving success (e.g. make a lot of money) is not what inspires
or motivates King. He follows more of a “you aren’t doing well
unless you’re also doing some good” line of thinking. King’s
company has been built around the simple principle of “do the right
thing.”
In 1999, Thom’s personal passion for food and his concern over the
explosion of metabolic disease led him to found Steviva Brands,
now known as Icon Foods, with a mission to help food manufacturers
replace unhealthy sugars in their products with natural
options.
With 20 years of R&D work, Thom has helped hundreds of
manufacturers improve the quality of their products. In recent
years, his passion for food and optimal health have intersected
with his embrace of a ketogenic (low carb, high fat) diet.
