038 | Shelby Zitelman Goes From Wharton to Ultimate Sales Success

Shelby Zitelman, inspired by her entrepreneurial family, graduated from the Wharton School with a concentration in Entrepreneurial Management, and has applied this degree to all of her jobs since. As the "brains" of Soom Foods Shelby is responsible for developing the Company’s strategy, managing the finances and accounting, managing the team and overseeing contractor relationships.

Have you taken the time to determine your passions? Do those passions align with your values?

Right after college Shelby went for a job with Accenture, and was turned down! For most people this would be pretty devastating, but she just looked at it as an opportunity to truly discover what she was passionate about, and then created a life around those passions.

Shelby has experienced some pretty major NO’s in her career, from losing a contract with a major salad chain restaurant to losing a bid with a major tahini distributor, but NONE of those NO’s have caused her to waver from her true passions in life!
