Raven Logiurato

Co-Founder @ sauc.d

About

I’m an entrepreneur and co-founder of Sauc.d, a CPG brand crafting clean-label, refrigerated sauces and dips made from whole ingredients and pure olive oil — free from seed oils, sugar, preservatives, and artificial additives. Our mission: raise the standard for everyday pantry staples with bold flavor and uncompromising quality. Previously, I worked as a research assistant, applying lab techniques like qPCR, membrane filtration, and pathogen analysis to deliver actionable insights for freshwater and marine systems, contributing to two publications. I also consulted for a sustainability-focused marketing firm, supporting plant-based and wellness brands on marketing strategies and social impact initiatives. Having traveled to 30+ countries, I bring a broad global perspective to building purpose-driven brands and leading strategic initiatives.
