COLETTE BURNETT
Founder/C.E.O at Global Food Warrior, Global Food Warrior, United States

As Founder and CEO of Global Food Warrior for over eight years, I have led a bold mission to transform global food systems by championing sustainable agriculture, urban farming, and cutting-edge agri-tech solutions. Our work spans continents—delivering tailored strategies that make food more accessible, affordable, and resilient for communities most at risk. By aligning innovation with equity, we are not just addressing food insecurity—we’re redesigning how the world grows and shares its food.

In my role as Executive Board Member of Dream Academy Trinidad and Tobago, I’ve spent the past seven years working at the intersection of food justice and social equity. Through agricultural mentorship and development programs, I help empower incarcerated and at-risk youth—those whose potential is often overlooked due to systemic barriers. I believe that a nation’s strength lies in its ability to nourish every citizen, and I am deeply committed to bringing food security and opportunity to even the most marginalized.

As Co-Founder of BPC Distribution, I bridge global markets by opening new avenues for Caribbean and African entrepreneurs. By expanding product reach and fostering international trade partnerships, we enable scalable growth while advancing social impact across diaspora economies.

With over 20 years in branch banking across the Caribbean and the U.S., I bring a strong foundation in financial strategy and business development. That experience was instrumental in launching Super Wings NY—a celebrated food brand that not only won accolades like Brooklyn’s Entrepreneur of the Year in 2013, but also became a symbol of cultural pride, resilience, and service.

At the core of all my ventures is a single, unshakable purpose: to create generational impact through food, finance, and community. Whether scaling urban farms or mentoring future leaders, I remain committed to building a world where access, empowerment, and sustainability are not ideals—but realities.
