Mark Rampolla, Founder of ZICO Coconut Water

Mark Rampolla is a visionary entrepreneur and the founder of (Zee-koh) ZICO Coconut Water, a brand that helped create the now $8 billion global coconut water category. After growing ZICO into one of the fastest-growing beverages worldwide, Mark sold the company to Coca Cola in 2013. He then transitioned into investing, co-founding PowerPlant Partners, where he played a key role in the plant-based food movement, including the success of Beyond Meat. In 2020, Mark made a bold move by repurchasing ZICO from Coca Cola with a group of investors through GroundForce Capital where he manages $500 million in assets, focusing on health, wellness, and sustainability investments.
