NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Momofuku Goods today announced the appointment of Padraic "Paddy" Spence as Chief Executive Officer. Spence, a seasoned leader in the consumer packaged goods industry, will step into the role as the company continues its rapid expansion in retail and e-commerce.

Founded by David Chang, Marguerite Mariscal, and the team behind Momofuku, Momofuku Goods has grown from a cult-favorite pantry brand into a category leader in Global Flavors, with products available in over 11,000 retail locations nationwide. Spence's appointment marks a new chapter of scaling the brand's presence while staying true to its roots.

"Momofuku Goods has always been about making it easier for people to cook with bold, restaurant-quality flavors at home," said Marguerite Mariscal, co-founder of Momofuku Goods, who will join the company's board and remain CEO of Momofuku restaurants. "As we move into this next phase of growth, we wanted to find a leader who understands how to scale a high-growth brand while keeping its identity intact. Paddy is that leader."

Spence brings over 30 years of experience in consumer packaged goods, leading disruptive brands to mainstream success. As CEO of Zevia, he transformed the zero-sugar beverage company into a household name, expanding its distribution to over 31,000 retail locations and leading its IPO. Prior to Zevia, he founded and led SPINS, the market research firm dedicated to natural products, which helped define the better-for-you food movement. Spence began his career at Kashi, where he led the expansion of the brand into mainstream retail.

"I've spent my career helping high-growth brands challenge the status quo, and I see that same spirit in Momofuku Goods," said Paddy Spence, CEO of Momofuku Goods. "This team has built something truly special-products that deliver real flavor, without shortcuts. I'm excited to help bring that vision to even more home cooks."

"The whole point of Momofuku Goods was to take the flavors we love and bring them to as many people as possible," said David Chang, co-founder of Momofuku and Momofuku Goods. "We've got a big opportunity in front of us, and Paddy knows exactly how to scale a brand without losing what makes it great. He's the right guy for the job."

With Spence at the helm, Momofuku Goods will continue its mission to redefine the American pantry, expanding its product offerings, retail presence, and brand reach-all while staying true to the Momofuku ethos of bold, uncompromising flavor.
