Petfood Forum 2017

Matt Golladay
President
BrightPet Nutrition Group


Golladay grew up around a small-town Ohio feed mill and later the startup of family-owned Ohio Pet Foods, which specializes in co-packing premium and superpremium dry pet foods. He earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Kent State University and previously worked in corporate finance at HSBC Bank and GMAC Finance, as well as commercial sales. Golladay returned to the family business to manage the buyout of Blackwood Pet Food, then partnered with Ideas that Kick to transform the nearly 20-year-old brand. In 2016, he oversaw the partnering of Blackwood, Adirondack and Makin’ Trax pet food brands, along with Ohio Pet Foods and Southern Tier Pet Nutrition, with private investment firm Graham Partners to create BrightPet.
