Little Sesame announced Drew Martin as its new chief commercial officer. With more than a decade of experience scaling iconic brands, Martin will oversee commercialization strategy, all sales channels, and in-store marketing as Little Sesame continues its mission to build the future of the hummus category.
Martin joins Little Sesame following his tenure as EVP commercial at Oatly North America, where he scaled the business to over $400 million in annual sales through a bold, multi-channel approach. Previously, he played a pivotal role in Chobani’s rise as director of sales, helping the brand outpace legacy players in the competitive yogurt market.
Little Sesame has seen significant growth since 2021, expanding into 3,000 stores nationwide, launching innovative products like its Kids Hummus line, and earning Clean Label and Glyphosate Residue Free certifications. With a new facility set to open in 2025, the brand is projected to reach $20 million in sales and quadruple its capacity.
Martin's appointment comes as Little Sesame accelerates its bold vision for the hummus category, backed by its mission to connect people to better food and better farming.
