Congratulations to the following LMU Lions on this monumental achievement!
Gina Galvin ’20
Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer, Stellar Snacks
Majors: Marketing (A-LIST) and Women’s and Gender Studies (WGST)
In 2019, Galvin co-founded Stellar Snacks alongside her mother, an immigrant from France. As the creative visionary, Galvin is behind the brand’s fun flavors and packaging featuring original art from emerging artists. Stellar Snacks is now one of the fastest-growing pretzel brands in America with its products available in Kroger, Albertsons, Whole Foods, and Sprouts, as well as Southwest and Alaska Airlines flights.
“I am beyond proud of what we’ve built with Stellar Snacks and filled with an abundance of gratitude for my incredible team, mentors, and supporters who have helped me along the way. To be recognized alongside so many inspiring changemakers is a privilege I don’t take lightly.”
Sanam Khalili ’19
Director of Artist Partnerships, Range Media Partners
Major: Marketing (A-LIST)
Since joining Range Media Partners in 2022, Khalili’s portfolio has grown to include Jack Harlow, Luke Grimes, Saweetie, and Shaboozey. Khalili notably navigated the partnership between Yellowstone star Luke Grimes and workwear company Carhartt, an effort that marked the brand’s inaugural talent partnership in its 100+ year history. She also locked in LifeWTR, a Pepsi Frito Lay brand, as a sponsor for Jack Harlow’s Gazebo Music Festival.
“I am shocked and overwhelmed with gratitude for the support of my team at Range Media Partners for helping me get to this place. It is the privilege of a lifetime to be on that list alongside so many talented individuals.”
Jake Tannenbaum ’18
Founder & CEO, Craftmix
Major: Entrepreneurship
Craftmix’s cocktail and mocktail mixers are packaged in pocket-sized packets for health-conscious and sustainability-focused consumers. Within six months of launching on Amazon in 2019, Tannenbaum grew Craftmix to $10,000 in sales per month. Craftmix is now sold across retailers like Walmart, Sprouts, Raleys, as well as QVC, Amtrak trains, and JetBlue flights worldwide.
“Forbes 30 Under 30 added to the resume!!!! A lifelong dream, and now that it’s here, honestly…nothing has changed. I’ve realized these honors are more so a byproduct of working hard and doing something special rather than playing the game to try to get something you want. I want to dedicate this honor to my rockstar employees and army of customers. Without you all, I wouldn’t be on this list, so this one’s for you.”
