Meet the Team

Maggie Mayo, Founder & CEO

I’m a wellness entrepreneur and the founder of Grounded Bar. Inspired by my own health journey and experience as a Division 1 athlete, I’ve always understood the importance of fueling my body well, but I often struggled to find convenient snacks that combined clean ingredients, balanced nutrition, and great taste. That led me to start creating high-protein bars made with simple, wholesome ingredients I felt good about eating every day. What started as homemade bars for myself quickly became a favorite among family and friends, who couldn’t get enough and soon began placing orders of their own.

As word spread, requests started coming in from people I had never even met, and I realized there was a need for nutritious, satisfying snacks made with ingredients people could trust. My passion for creating products that support busy, health-conscious lifestyles quickly grew into Grounded Bar.

Today, I lead the brand with a commitment to quality, simplicity, and great taste while building a community rooted in wellness. After experiencing firsthand the powerful impact that what you put in your body can have on your health, my mission is to inspire others to prioritize their well-being, fuel their bodies intentionally, and feel more energized, confident, and grounded through foods made with real ingredients and purpose.

Melanie Mayo, Co-Founder & COO

As my mom and biggest supporter, Melanie has been an essential part of Grounded Bar from the very beginning. What started as helping test recipes in the kitchen quickly evolved into helping build and grow the business alongside me. With a passion for bringing people together and supporting healthy lifestyles, she plays a key role in overseeing operations and ensuring every bar is made with the same care and quality that inspired the brand from day one.

She is passionate about helping bring Grounded Bar’s mission to life and takes pride in building a female founded  brand rooted in family, community, and creating wholesome foods that help people feel their best.
