Allison Ellsworth is the co-founder & chief brand officer of poppi:
the modern soda brand revolutionizing soda for the next generation.
She created poppi by experimenting in her kitchen to create an apple
cider vinegar-infused soda that tasted great. From the farmers market
to a “Shark Tank” deal, poppi quickly became one of the
fastest-growing nonalcoholic beverages in the U.S. and is the No. 1
selling soda on Amazon.

Ellsworth leads the Austin-based beverage company’s overall brand
strategy, creative and innovation. She pioneered the brand’s
cultural cache and digital-first approach, attracting a loyal
community of over 1 million followers, over 2 billion-plus page views
on TikTok, and celebrity brand fans including Kim Kardashian, Post
Malone, Alix Earle, Hailey Bieber, Billie Eilish and more.

Ellsworth has been recognized in the 2024 Inc. Female Founders 250 and
was named Founder of the Year from Modern Retail; TIME named poppi one
of The 100 Most Influential Companies of 2025. She lives in Austin,
Texas, with her husband and three boys.
