Portrait
Nicolas Jammet , Chief Concept Officer + Co-Founder

is Co-Founder & Chief Concept Officer of sweetgreen, the mission driven restaurant brand that serves healthy food at scale. Nicolas and his co-founders started sweetgreen in 2007, opening their first location in Georgetown, DC, just three months out of college. Their vision is to be as ubiquitous as traditional fast-food, but far more transparent and honest.

Nicolas has been recognized as a key innovator in food and business, named to Fast Company’s “Most Creative People in Business,” Inc.’s “30 Under 30”, Forbes’ “30 Under 30” and Food & Wine’s “40 Big Food Thinkers 40 and Under.” Sweetgreen was named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies in 2019 and 2020, won the 2020 and 2021 Webby Award for Food & Drink in the category Apps, Mobile & Voice and recognized as a Top 100 Most Loved Workplace by Newsweek in collaboration with Best Practice Institute.

Born and raised in New York City, Nicolas grew up in a family of hospitality entrepreneurs — the son of André and Rita Jammet, owners of NYC’s beloved La Caravelle. Nicolas graduated from Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, where he met fellow sweetgreen Co-Founders, Nathaniel Jonathan. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife Holly, son Julien.
