Out of 60,000 companies, leading beverage brand also awarded Best Companies for
Professional Development, Best Leadership and Best CEO for Women
Los Angeles, Calif. – July 24, 2020 – Zevia is a brand best known for its zero sugar, zero calorie
beverages. This year, the company has even more to celebrate, with its recent recognition by
Comparably as a Best Place to Work. Among small to mid-size companies, Zevia received four
Comparably Awards, including Best Companies for Professional Development, Best Leadership, Best
CEO for Diversity and Best CEO for Women.
Comparably’s annual Best Places to Work Awards aim to make work transparent and rewarding for
employees and employers by recognizing the best leaders and businesses making a positive impact.
The awards are determined based on anonymous survey responses from employees across 60,000
businesses in the United States.
“We are incredibly proud to be recognized by Comparably as a best-in-class company across a range
of categories,” said Paddy Spence, Zevia CEO. “Zevia is passionate about our mission to improve the
health of our communities through zero calorie, naturally sweetened beverages. We are equally
passionate about creating career opportunities for all Zevia team members and creating a culture of
inclusion, especially for historically underrepresented communities.”
Spence began as the CEO of Zevia in 2010 with a goal to create a healthier, happier world by reducing
sugar consumption through offering delicious beverage alternatives. Over the past decade, Zevia has
grown from four to more than 90 employees who are fiercely passionate, talented and determined to
change the beverage game. Zevia began by disrupting the Soda category, with a line of 14 flavors,
and in recent years has continued to innovate in response to consumer needs, adding Energy, Organic
Teas, Mixers, and most recently Zevia Kidz beverages.
Being a leader who creates an innovative and inclusive work setting that makes employees happy to
come to work is one of Spence’s proudest achievements. "The Best Leadership Teams is a list of
companies that have the most effective combination of executives and senior managers in business,
as voted on by employees," said Comparably CEO Jason Nazar. "These leaders collectively inspire their
teams to do their best work, while creating a positive environment that delivers results."
Zevia is currently hiring for a range of full-time positions. Those with an entrepreneurial spirit and
