How this CEO is heating up the hot sauce world
Crystal Fairley is the President and CEO of Uncle Keith’s Gourmet Foods, a specialty hot sauce business in San Diego, CA. She and her husband Keith launched their business in 2015, when a local hot sauce seller was retiring, tasted Keith’s chili pepper plants, and offered them a buyout plan. They jumped at the opportunity to bring Keith’s spicy mix to market.
