Mario Patiño, newly appointed Chief Revenue Officer for The EVERY Company

Patiño joins EVERY from Insight M, where he served as Chief Revenue Officer and key architect of the company’s international business and revenue strategy. He is a sales leader known for navigating companies through periods of rapid global expansion especially across international markets. Patiño brings a proven track record of commercializing novel technology at scale, building multi-billion dollar pipelines, and closing over $250M in customer contracts. His appointment reflects EVERY’s mission to treat food ingredients as critical global infrastructure, requiring the same scale and discipline as the energy and technology sectors.

“We have reached a historic tipping point,” said Arturo Elizondo, CEO of The EVERY Company. “With our proteins now available in products sold at Walmart and Target stores nationwide, e-commerce and regional foodservice players, the ‘if’ has become ‘how fast.’ Mario’s experience taking companies through adoption inflection points and scaling them is exactly what EVERY needs as we enter this next phase. Mario doesn’t just know how to sell; he knows how to build the revenue engines that power global movements.”

As CRO, Patiño will oversee all aspects of EVERY’s global commercial strategy, with a primary focus on:

  • Driving U.S. Mass Market Adoption: Leveraging EVERY’s success across retail, e-commerce, and foodservice to deepen its penetration in the United States and secure deep partnerships with the world’s largest CPG firms and private label manufacturers.

  • Global Expansion: Applying his track record of expanding into international markets to bring EVERY’s flagship OvoPro™ to Latin America, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific.

  • Commercial Infrastructure: Scaling the sales and distribution operations to meet the demand of the “new protein economy” as EVERY grows its industrial-scale production.

“EVERY has done something few in food tech ever achieve: they’ve moved from the lab to the biggest retailer on the planet,” said Mario Patiño. “This is no longer about proving a concept; it’s about fulfilling the massive global demand for stable, high-performance ingredients. I am thrilled to lead the transition to a more resilient food system globally.”

The appointment arrives at an inflection point for EVERY. Following a successful Series D and nationwide product launches with marquee customers that have validated the market potential, EVERY is now accelerating global expansion, offering food manufacturers a resilient alternative to the volatility of traditional animal agriculture supply chains.
