More About Josh Domingues:
Josh Domingues is the Founder & CEO of Flashfood, a mobile marketplace that connects surplus food from grocery stores directly to its community at great prices. Josh founded Flashfood in 2016 after reading about the environmental effects of food waste.
Determined to make a difference, Josh often cites that if international food waste were a country, it would be the third leading cause of greenhouse gas (GHG) behind the U.S. and China. Flashfood doubles down on using food to do good, by rescuing food that would have otherwise been wasted to help feed those in need, or those unable to afford fresh and healthy food options.
After earning a Bachelor of Commerce Cum Laude (Finance and Management Science) from Saint Mary’s University, Josh started his career as an investment advisor before becoming a management consultant and VP at a boutique firm that managed financial affairs for professional hockey players.
