Meet Abigail Jewett, Founder and Executive Director

Abigail Jewett is the Founder and Executive Director of the Data and Automation Acceleration Foundation, and a seasoned operations leader with 10+ years of experience scaling food-tech and CPG businesses from the ground up.

Her career spans the full operations lifecycle — from managing 80-person teams on the manufacturing floor at Frito-Lay, to leading end-to-end supply chain, demand planning, ERP implementation, and new product commercialization as Director of Operations & Quality Assurance at Eclipse Foods. She has built operations functions from scratch, managed multimillion-dollar procurement budgets, stood up contract manufacturing partnerships, and driven measurable results: improving product margins from 36% to 56%, pushing order fulfillment to 97%, and cutting warehouse costs by 75% in a single year.

Abigail holds a Chemical Engineering degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and brings a rare combination of technical rigor and operational execution to every engagement. She has worked across food manufacturing, food-tech startups, SaaS implementation, and engineering consulting — giving her a uniquely broad perspective on what it takes to build businesses that scale.

Through DAAF, Abigail is committed to making that expertise accessible to small food businesses that deserve the same operational tools and support as large enterprises — at a price that works for them.
