Brian Sambor

Vice President Operations and Product Development

After graduating from the University of Illinois with his Bachelor’s Degree and California Polytechnic State University with his Master’s in Dairy Product Technology, Brian spent over 10 years with Kraft Foods. At Kraft, Brian led a variety of new product development launches and optimization initiatives. Brian also represented Kraft’s participation in the US Whey Protein Research Consortium, a body of companies and organizations dedicated to furthering whey protein science.

Brian and Daphne have shared an obsession with Whey Protein from the beginning; but it was in May 2008 that Brian officially joined the team. Since then, he has been 100% focused on ensuring the best quality yogurts and most efficient process possible.

Somewhere along the way of completing food-related course work at the university level, and careers in the food industry, both Daphne and Brian developed an insatiable obsession for whey protein. Daphne is a healthy eater by nature, and frequent kick boxer (classes, not Ultimate Fighter), thus desiring an easier way to get the benefits of whey protein on a daily basis without going through the messy steps of mixing powder into a smoothie or eating an awful-tasting protein bar.

Brian, on the other hand, is a true scientist and has been fascinated with how natural and complete whey protein is for body and also how it can increase the benefits and results of an active life exponentially.

Introduce the kick boxer to the scientist (sounds like a script for a new sitcom) and what happens? Thus was born the idea for Better Whey of Life™…..
