The minds behind
every meal.
Chefs, nutritionists, operators, and creatives who believe healthy food should never be boring.
Leadership
3 peopleMJ Bekman
Chief Visionary OfficerMJ has always strived to lead a healthy balanced life through food and fitness. She knows the key to a productive life is to fuel your body with nutritious foods. Before Meels, she used every meal delivery service and set out to fix every disappointment she encountered. She couldn't find anything that was delicious, mostly organic, flexible, and at affordable prices — so she made her own.
Shai Bekman
PresidentShai is a seasoned serial entrepreneur with expertise in leveraging technology to achieve operational excellence. Meels has been successful in the meal prep space partly due to proprietary automation tools that he has created to efficiently assist our leaders in the kitchen by effectively and accurately handling waste, inventory management, and recipe assignments. This software allows the Meels kitchen to be completely paperless, ultimately reducing our carbon footprint while effectively driving our mission to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Alex Vatamanescu
Chief Operating OfficerAlex completed his Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance at the University of Guelph. With nearly a decade of high-level operational experience, Alex is the gear that keeps Meels turning. Assisting in every facet of daily operations, he is the perfect synergy between our technology-focused platform and the excellent efficiency of our kitchen.

Darren Lim
