At just 22 years old, Ben Kander experienced a life-changing loss when his mother, Ellen, passed away after a courageous battle with liver cancer. Instead of letting grief define him, Ben transformed it into purpose by creating Welly—a premium drinkware company built on sustainability, wellness, and giving back. Every bottle reflects a mission to reduce single-use plastics while helping provide clean water to communities around the world.
Now, Ben is bringing manufacturing home, leading the launch of the first U.S.-based factory dedicated to insulated stainless steel drinkware. On this episode of CEOs You Should Know, Ben shares the deeply personal story behind Welly, the challenges of building a purpose-driven brand, why American manufacturing matters, and how one idea born from heartbreak is creating jobs, inspiring healthier lifestyles, and proving that business can be a force for good.
