Ben Jablonski - CEO and Co-Founder of The Good Charcoal Company

Ben Jablonski is the CEO and Co-Founder of The Good Charcoal Company. He is responsible for making sure the company’s vision is realized to make Good Charcoal, Good for the environment, and Good for the community. Ben combines over a decade of retail experience with a passion for agriculture and community service. Prior to co-founding The Good Charcoal Company, Jablonski worked as a product design engineer for several companies, including Procter & Gamble and Reebok. During his time in the industry, he became increasingly concerned about the negative impact that traditional charcoal production methods were having on the environment. This concern led Jablonski to begin experimenting with alternative production methods, which ultimately led to the development of The Good Charcoal Company's flagship product, the Naked Charcoal Briquette. This product is made using sustainably sourced wood, and does not contain any of the harmful chemicals or additives that are often found in traditional charcoal products. Under Jablonski's leadership, The Good Charcoal Company has quickly gained a reputation as a leader in sustainable charcoal production. The company's products are now available in stores across the United States, and have been featured in a number of publications, including Forbes and Fast Company. Jablonski is a passionate advocate for sustainable business practices and environmental stewardship. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and a Master's degree in Product Design from Stanford University.
